In federal software development, surprises late in the process can be costly not just in time and money, but also in missed mission outcomes. That’s why more agencies are embracing a “Shift Left” approach which is integrating security, testing, and compliance at the start of the development lifecycle instead of treating them as last-mile tasks.

At Makpar, we help federal agencies adopt Shift Left principles to reduce rework, improve resilience, and speed up delivery. From early architecture planning to AI-driven prototyping and automated compliance checks, our approach ensures that software is secure, scalable, and audit-ready — right from the beginning.

Check out our infographic below to see how Shift Left delivers smarter, faster results for federal IT.
