Ep 366: Why Agile Proposals Are 30% Faster (and How to Switch from Waterfall)

In this episode of Game Changers for Government Contractors, host Michael LeJeune welcomes Tony Gray to unpack the major differences between traditional waterfall and agile proposal development. Tony shares how agile proposals—led by skilled writers with deep customer and technical insight—deliver faster, more cohesive, and higher-quality responses. You’ll learn how agile methods cut development time by 30%, reduce burnout, improve SME collaboration, and integrate seamlessly with AI tools. Tony also explains how to overcome resistance to change and how agile helps leaders better allocate B&P resources using gap-based tracking. Whether you’re a small business owner, BD pro, or proposal manager, this episode delivers actionable insights to help you scale smarter and win more contracts.
