What is the Solution Architecture Mastery for Strategic course about?

You're responsible for architectures that must scale, comply, and align, yet too often, projects stall at handoff points, stakeholders misalign, or implementation drifts from intent. The gap isn't effort, it's structure. Without a proven, repeatable framework, even strong designs falter in execution.
