Learn why software delivery fails in government — and what's required to make shipping possible.

Episode 05

Episode 5 focuses on the problem most government teams face: they can build software, but they can’t get it to production reliably. Bryon explains that a real path to production requires two essential components: a solid foundation and the permission to deploy.

A cloud-native Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the foundation, and a continuous Authorization to Operate (cATO) is the permission to deploy. Together, they turn security and compliance into built-in capabilities—so shipping to production becomes routine, not a special event.
