Open mmarcus00 opened 6 years ago
Project Vision:
Many public services in the UK are expected to deliver efficiency savings along with improved outcomes for citizens. Open data is already being used to provide better public services, for example, the release of travel and mapping information reduced the need for the public sector to build services for end users and helped build a new market of digital mapping and travel services to meet people’s needs. However, there remain significant technical, organisational and cultural barriers to the opportunities presented by using open data to support public service delivery. The open data service design toolkit looks to support local governments to overcome those barriers, making better public services that meet the needs of the communities they represent.
Project Milestones:
Milestone 1: Create MVP tool kit Based on the user research from the discovery phase, identify the key barriers local government stakeholders come across for each of the three types of open data public service. Review tools (ODI and non-ODI tools) which could address them. Compile into digital MVP toolkit
Milestone 2: Test MVP toolkit Publish and publicise toolkit - ask for contribution online Run three workshops across UK bringing together a range of stakeholders from those areas (England/ Scotland/ Wales) to use the tools and feedback on where it is and isn’t working. Take to OpenDataCamp in November to test further Service Fringe festival thing (October) Publish feedback
Milestone 3: Update MVP and release as Beta toolkit online (December) Consolidate and update toolkit based on feedback from Milestone 2 Release beta in live on ODI website Publicise and ask for further contribution
Milestone 4: Get feedback on Beta toolkit and update to Alpha (Ongoing - end of Jan) Take to LocalGovCamp in January to test further Update online version and create print version
