What is the Production-Grade Product-Led Operating Models course about?

Organizations increasingly rely on distributed product teams to drive innovation, but most operate without a unified, production-grade framework, leading to duplicated effort, compliance gaps, and delayed time-to-value. Without a coherent model, even talented teams struggle to scale impact.
