12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Misaligned metrics across sites lead to conflicting priorities, unclear progress, and eroded trust at the leadership level.

The situation this course is for

Engineering leaders in multi-site environments often struggle to create a unified view of performance. Local teams optimize for different goals, data collection is inconsistent, and reporting fails to reflect strategic impact. This creates friction in decision-making, slows down execution, and undermines credibility with executives.

Who this is for

Engineering VPs, Technical Program Directors, and Senior Engineering Managers leading or coordinating software delivery across multiple geographic locations or business units.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors without cross-team oversight, contractors focused on single deliverables, or leaders in single-site organizations without distributed coordination challenges.

What you walk away with

  • Design a coherent metrics framework tailored to multi-site engineering programs
  • Align KPIs across regions while respecting local context and constraints
  • Establish data governance practices that ensure consistency and trust in reporting
  • Communicate engineering performance to executives using strategic, outcome-focused narratives
  • Build and deploy a customized implementation playbook to operationalize metrics across teams
