What is the Scalable Quality Management course about?

Even high-performing teams struggle when quality expectations differ across departments. Engineering measures defect rates, compliance tracks controls, product owns user outcomes, and operations monitors uptime, yet no one owns the integration of these perspectives. This fragmentation leads to last-minute surprises, duplicated effort, and compromised scalability.
