No. This is what makes things more challenging, even today. In the government, for example, when an operational unit needs something, it submits a request to the technology group, which then goes to procurement officials. They turn to the lawyers to see whether they have the right to proceed with the procurement. If lawyers conclude that it is problematic, the request goes back to the technology group and then to the operational unit. The process then starts all over again from the beginning.
There was no meeting with the entire team in one room at the same time, and as a result, there are new delays when, for example, lawyers come back three months later, saying that there is a small problem and it is impossible to proceed. If that had been brought up at a meeting at the outset of the process, the situation could have been very different.
