VA.gov Modernization: consolidating a sprawling content estate onto one CMS.

Working through the U.S. Digital Service at the VA, we're consolidating all of VA.gov onto a single content management system and introducing content governance and cross-site publishing. The goal is a streamlined editorial process for VA editors and a single, consistent voice for veterans online.

VA · Digital Service at VA

One consistent voice for veterans online, instead of a maze of separate sites.

By creating a standard content model and design system, we're helping VA.gov become a simpler, more intuitive experience, so it's easier for veterans to access the services and support they deserve.

Veterans Health Administration · Diffusion of Excellence

Diffusion Marketplace: helping good ideas spread across the country's largest health system.

The VA provides care to over 9 million veterans every year at 172 medical centers and 1,069 outpatient clinics. Most centers are managed regionally, so a great innovation in one center often stays there. We built Diffusion Marketplace, a centralized hub that lets VA centers share their innovations with each other, saving taxpayer money and improving care for veterans.

VHA · Center for Innovation

From one center's breakthrough to a national best practice, without losing what made it work.

One center might develop an exciting innovation that could benefit millions of veterans, but with their decentralized organization, there's no built-in way to share those innovations. Great ideas get stuck.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services · CCSQ

From maintenance mode to modernization: scaling Agile across CMS clinical quality programs.

Starting in fall 2016, we've worked with the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality to coach, train, and consult on SAFe and Scrum rollouts across existing vendors. We were instrumental partners in launching three of the first Scaled Agile Release Trains at CMS, work later published by SAFe as a case study.

Vendors collaborating as a team of teams, not stitched-together contract deliverables.

We've used a human-centered approach to encourage vendors to think beyond specific contract deliverables and focus on collaboration, transparency, better outcomes, and the overarching needs of the program.

Our just cause

We build better by putting people first.

Five values that shape how we hire, how we organize, and how we deliver. Federal customers feel the difference because the team feels it first.

Purpose

We pursue work that matters.

Federal programs touch real lives. We choose engagements where the work has consequence and approach them like it.

Trust

Relationships built on trust.

Among teammates, customers, and partners. Trust shows up as candor, follow-through, and giving credit where it's earned.

Self-Management

Autonomy at the team level.

We reinforce local decision-making in individuals and teams. Decisions get made by the people closest to the work.

Wholeness

Space for whole people.

We hold space for people to be their complete and authentic selves. Better humans build better software.

Inclusion

See, hear, and value people.

Inclusion is operational, not decorative. It changes who's in the room, whose ideas ship, and what the end product becomes.

We're hiringCareers

A team people want to join.

Fully remote, self-managed, and built around five values that put people first. Sixers stay because they get to work shoulder-to-shoulder with people they respect, on programs that actually matter.
