Reevaluate remaining work for Signature Component design (In partnership with CARBs)

[pacerwow]

Issue Description

As a DBEX team member, I want to know if the designs are finished for the Signature Component so that the work can be resumed and executed by Engineering.

Around April of 2024 we put this work on pause in favor of putting our focus on Toxic Exposure. Where did we leave off on this work? What was done and is there any remaining design work to do? This ticket is simply to understand if there is any remaining design work.

Tasks

• [x] Knowledge transfer with Shannon
• [ ] Research into old tickets, slack threads
• [ ] Look at Figma design files for discovery
• [ ] Identify if design is aligned with latest patterns
• [ ] Review relevant paper form pages

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] DBEX Team 1 & 2 knows if design is complete or incomplete on this work, i.e. what was done and what work is remaining (if any)
• [ ] Document these findings in the comments of this ticket
• [ ] Share the results of our findings with the DBEX Team 1, 2, and OCTO by posting in disability-benefits

Additional Information

The work needed here isn't to redesign or re-think how this could be accomplished, it should be lightweight, tactical work to simply determine where we are in the process so that we engineering can deliver this in the most efficient and effective way.

Notes on knowledge transfer with Shannon:

• This issue is critical to VBA due to potential legal ramifications.
• It has been waiting for available engineering bandwidth.
• It is the next priority to address after ZSF.
• The work should have been completed by Kate, involving:
• 8 pages of instructional text outlining the evidence claimants need to provide.
• There is a statutory requirement for VBA to provide this information to Veterans.
• When VSRS receive claims without certification verifying the claimant received this information, they must send the claim back.
• There is no indication that this content is available on the online form, and no way for Veterans to verify they’ve seen it.
• The copy wasn’t incorporated into the static website content, nor was it linked in the form.
• Phase 1:
• Linked to a PDF for claimants to read the required content.
• Outstanding work, Phase 2:
• CAIA has now ensured that the static content is fully compliant.
• This content should be live on the website, so we should update the link to point to the HTML version instead of the PDF.
• Status: Completed design intent. Maya to locate the design intent ticket and elevate it for Shannon’s review.
• Next Steps: Begin a light collab cycle.
• Open a ticket for Midpoint Review when ready.
• Move forward with engineering and conduct a Midpoint Review on designs, running engineering work in parallel.
• Order: Signature component to proceed first, followed by the intro page.
• Action: Schedule a meeting with Rueben this week to discuss further and include Shannon in the conversation.
