The Collaboration Cycle is where teams who are building products on VA.gov get feedback and guidance on their product to ensure it meets VA.gov experience standards for design, content, accessibility, information architecture, and quality assurance. Teams engage with the Collaboration Cycle throughout their product’s lifecycle.
