What is the Production-Grade Performance Management course about?
As organizations grow beyond early-stage agility, informal performance rhythms break down. Leaders are left reconciling conflicting priorities, reacting to lagging indicators, and managing ad hoc reviews. Without production-grade systems, even strong teams experience drift, rework, and missed inflection points.
