#The Last Silo
##Intro
- With the rise of Agile we have spent a lot of time in the last several years promoting cross-functional teams as being integral to the creation of software.
- This is awesome, and it has vastly increased our ability to work sanely.
- Despite all this, it is still depressingly common for site design to be completely silo'd off from everything else.
- The result of this is, very often, a design that is not actually implementable.
- This effect is exacerbated when combined the restrictions when building to a CMS (both in terms of technology and editorial experience).
- It's time to tear down the wall between design and implementation.
