What teams should leave with
Most teams do not need another status conversation. They need a boundary and inheritance review that shows what holds up, what breaks first, and what has to change before the program gets more expensive.
The perspective here is shaped by public work across Army modernization, Department of Defense technology reform, and Microsoft federal security environments where architecture and control accountability had real consequences.
This is most useful before the program is too far into a boundary story or inheritance story that the company cannot actually support.
