The final challenge is institutionalizing maturity to avoid regression and sustain progress at enterprise scale. This module addresses the common anti-patterns—architectural, operational, and cultural—that derail even well-planned initiatives, providing a universal recovery pattern to diagnose, instrument, re-govern, and verify improvements. You’ll learn to spot traps like feature fever, metric myopia, and speed worship before they erode trust or explode costs.

Crucially, this module bridges the gap between technical execution and executive leadership. You’ll design practices to integrate maturity metrics into quarterly OKRs, tie governance performance to executive incentives, and embed maturity dashboards into board-level risk reviews. The goal is to transition maturity from an engineering framework to a management system, making governed autonomy a measurable, sustainable competitive advantage that compounds intelligence and trust across the organization.
