Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: We start each project or programme of work by understanding priorities and goals. This helps guide us and sense check work throughout the programme. You will have a dedicated project manager who ensures successful delivery. You'll also have access to delivery managers and business analysts if necessary to strengthen this work. In Discovery and Alpha, we support planning by identifying user needs and technical requirements. This lays a foundation that supports meeting user needs. This makes sure the right things are prioritised, designed and built, which in turn minimises risks and offers value for money. We look towards the future in the early stages to make sure what we deliver is scalable and sustainable. In Beta, we focus on how to release the service or work with minimal risk and continuing to test and iterate. To do this, we consider: * team size and the capacity to gain meaningful insights * how the project will work with other services and across channels * rolling out the work * impact on other teams We also set up success metrics and gather performance data. We plan a smooth transition into Live by prioritising and resourcing continuous improvement activity.

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: We’re well-versed in supporting public sector clients in migrating services, both between cloud-based solutions or from existing legacy systems. We use the information gathered from user research and technical research to identify the best solution for the new or existing service. We then work with you to create a clear roadmap for migrating your service to the cloud. We are technology agnostic so provide objective recommendations that best suit your requirements and organisational needs. We strive to support you in selecting a sustainable solution and work with you to define requirements for how your service will be managed, supported and incrementally improved as it evolves.

We adopt an Agile methodology and align with the Technology Code of Practice. Our approach incorporates elements of best practice in project management and delivery, including: * continuous integration - code builds and tests * continuous delivery - code release and deployment * monitoring - performance and end-user experience As part of our day-to-day process, we: * run stand-ups to track our work * peer review our code to ensure that it is robust and meets best practice standards * manage our development progress using JIRA issue and project tracking software During the UAT process, you will be able to be actively involved in the prioritisation of changes or bugs.
