What is the Production-Grade Quality Management course about?

Distributed teams face invisible quality drift: inconsistent documentation, fragmented compliance, delayed feedback loops, and misaligned ownership. Standard QA practices don’t scale across time zones and toolchains, leaving leaders to patch gaps reactively instead of building systems that prevent issues ahead of deployment.
