What is the Production-Grade Performance Management course about?
Teams struggle to move from reporting to real accountability. Legacy systems lack integration, version control, audit readiness, and adaptability under changing mandates. As public expectations rise, so does the need for performance infrastructure that operates like a production system, not a spreadsheet afterthought.
