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

Episode 07

Episode 7 shifts focus to the team level and explains why delivery breaks down when product, design, and engineering operate in silos. Bryon introduces the concept of the balanced team as the smallest unit capable of delivering real outcomes.

This episode shows how balanced teams reduce risk, shorten feedback loops, and deliver software that users actually rely on—especially in complex government environments.
