This course covers all the concepts and ideas provided in The Open Group's Digital Practitioner Body of Knowledge (DPBoK™). The standard can be used to start and operate your digital-based company from startup mode through to an enduring enterprise supporting millions of customers. The course and standard start by describing how you operate a company with just the founder and one or two employees. Then the skills and process needed as you grow to a team of 10 or 12 employees, and then a company with multiple teams that must coordinate with each other. Finally, the skills and processes needed when your company becomes an enduring enterprise with several hundred employees supporting millions of customers.
