7.1 Veiller à ce que les employés aient accès aux outils, à la formation et aux technologies dont ils ont besoin

We need to evaluate and determine the tools and systems that we will use to build and host the service, as well as prepare for the operation and measurement of the service. We will also need to determine how to procure or build these tools and systems efficiently.

We must seek out and use modern methods such as Agile to ensure that the digital services we own and implement are innovative. We must ensure that our teams are consistently engaged through various opportunities to learn and participate in knowledge-sharing, and that we are successfully collaborating with both internal and external partners.

Liste de contrôle

  • Ensure team members can achieve their full potential; allow them to participate in knowledge-sharing across the government and ensure they receive the training they require.
  • Seek the best results for Canadians by encouraging evidence-based decision-making and extensive collaboration.
  • Develop and maintain a core set of principles that prioritize commitment to users.
  • Determine the team's decision making/approval processes, support practices (e.g., pairing, peer review), and working practices (e.g., stand-ups, sprint planning, etc.).
  • Determine how the team will apply modern methods for project management and design (Agile, co-design, service design).
  • Identify and maintain effective methods for engaging users, stakeholders, and advisors/experts.
  • Be prepared to adapt to a frequently changing digital environment that is consistently evolving (e.g., emerging tech, emerging threats/security concerns, increased use of artificial intelligence, etc.), and act accordingly.
  • Maintain a modern workplace with the professional development, IM-IT tools, and environment necessary for employees to do their jobs effectively.
  • Check for risks or restrictions associated with the tools and avoid any contracts that will prevent you from changing/improving your service.
  • Ensure that the system you build will be both sustainable and easily maintainable once the service is live.

Stage alpha :

  • Determine technical choices and programming tools.
  • Determine how you will net value for money spent on tools and how you will monitor your service.

Stage bêta :

  • Determine how you will manage limits placed on the service.
  • Document purchases and value for money, how you will monitor the service, support arrangements, and the specifics and reasons behind third-party decisions.

Stage en direct :

  • Document tech stacks and development toolchain changes made during beta and why.
  • Document how you are continuing to get the value for money, how you will check the health of the service, support arrangements that have been set up, and the specifics and reasons behind outsourced decisions.

7.2 Permettre aux équipes de prendre des décisions tout au long de la conception, de l’élaboration et de l’exploitation du service

We must empower staff to share power and control over projects. This can involve assigning tasks, setting priorities, troubleshooting problems, and assessing issues. As a whole, this will mean balancing a recognition of talent with a frank assessment of results.

We must always be searching for ways to improve service delivery, through review of business processes, user testing, and commitment to best practices for service delivery when designing or redesigning digital services. We need to maintain a strong working relationship with experienced contracting and budgeting officers to facilitate a smooth contracting process.

Every service must have a person that will hold the designate authority to make critical decisions (product owner). Key responsibilities will include managing how the project's vision is articulated, stakeholder/vendor relationships, efficiency, and accountability. This individual will also determine features of the service.
