    "text": "The software factory starts with signals from the outside world: bug reports, internal conversations, customer feedback, business requirements. These signals get triaged and turned into planned changes. These changes are built, tested, reviewed, secured, shipped, and monitored. Monitoring that deployed software generates more signals. The entire system is a continuous feedback loop.",
