What is the Pragmatic Product-Led Operating Models course about?
Teams launch multi-site programs with strong intent, only to face inconsistent adoption, misaligned incentives, and feedback loops that don’t scale. Traditional project management doesn’t resolve the tensions between local autonomy and central standards. Without a product-led operating model, even well-resourced programs stall in execution.
