Assess your team

The full picture of your ecosystem extends far beyond site pages and functionality. It also includes the team that manages it. This is where teams often run into surprises.

Technology challenges are usually visible. Operational gaps are not until they become project risks.

Internal capabilities vary widely from state to state. What looks like a well-resourced team on paper can reveal gaps once a project begins. On the engineering side, teams often carry deep institutional knowledge, but also outdated practices and hidden dependencies.
