What is the Pragmatic Product-Led Operating Models course about?
Even with strong product strategy, many organizations lack the operational backbone to execute consistently across functions. Ambiguity in roles, misaligned incentives, and reactive workflows undermine velocity and accountability. Professionals are expected to lead without frameworks to structure how work flows, decisions are made, or outcomes are measured.
