What is the Production-Grade Change Management course about?

Most change frameworks are designed for compliance or communication, not execution. They break down when faced with technical debt, misaligned incentives, and competing delivery cycles. Professionals are left bridging gaps without tools, templates, or clear methodology, leading to rework, stalled rollouts, and eroded trust.
