What is the Pragmatic MLOps Foundations course about?
Organizations often treat MLOps as a technical concern, but the real bottleneck is coordination. Without shared frameworks, teams duplicate effort, delay time-to-value, and create compliance blind spots. The lack of a common operating model across functions leads to fragile systems and eroded stakeholder trust.
