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

Episode 06

This episode looks at cloud platforms through a delivery lens, not a modernization checklist. Bryon explains why many government cloud platforms fail to accelerate teams—and how they often create more friction than value.

Viewers will learn what a good platform actually provides: paved roads, guardrails, and self-service capabilities that reduce cognitive load for teams and make delivery faster, safer, and more reliable.
