What is the Risk-Managed Engineering Metrics for Leaders course about?

Mid-market technology leaders face rising pressure to demonstrate value, reduce risk, and align engineering activity with business outcomes. Traditional metrics often fail to capture context, leading to misaligned incentives, burnout, or defensive reporting. Without a structured approach, teams default to vanity metrics or overcorrect in response to incidents.
