About this course

Cross-functional friction usually comes from unclear ownership and mismatched definitions of done. This course focuses on planning, critique, and release habits that keep disciplines synchronized. Topics include dual-track work, shared roadmaps, design-engineering handoffs, and launch readiness. Workshops use scenarios where priorities conflict and force explicit trade-offs. The outcome is a calmer shipping rhythm with fewer late surprises.

Who it is for

• Squad leads coordinating multiple disciplines
• Product and engineering managers in matrix orgs
• Designers embedded in delivery teams
