What is the Production-Grade Cross-Functional Program course about?
Programs fail not because of individual shortcomings, but because cross-functional workflows lack production-grade rigor. Audit trails break down, engineering velocity stalls, and compliance becomes reactive. Without a unified operating model, teams default to patchwork coordination , increasing rework and audit exposure.
