What is the PowerShell Automation for Enterprise course about?

As an IT Infrastructure Manager, you're accountable for stability, security, and compliance. Yet, PowerShell scripts often live in silos, written once, barely documented, hard to audit, and risky to modify. When teams rely on tribal knowledge or one-off solutions, technical debt compounds fast. Audits expose gaps. Onboarding slows down. Change windows stay tense. The promise of automation becomes a liability without structure.
