When network work is the real blocker
This fits when the software team keeps feeling the effect of network problems: deployment paths are unreliable, access assumptions are fuzzy, connectivity keeps breaking at awkward times, or firewall and routing realities are blocking integrations and support.
- Connectivity problems that slow delivery or support work
- Firewall, access, or environment assumptions that keep creating friction
- Systems that depend on cleaner coordination between the application and the network around it
