Overview
To facilitate the process of design and development for the Vessel Registry project, we are following the UK Government methodology for Agile service delivery laid out in their Service Manual. This process begins with a 4-8 week Discovery phase.
Planned Duration
We have decided to restrict ourselves to 3 Sprints for the Discovery Phase. As there is a considerable amount of existing knowledge for the context, problems, and expected outcomes for this project, it should give us a solid head-start with discovery. We are aiming to finish sooner, however we will go no longer than 3 sprints unless absolutely necessary.
Discovery Goal
The goal of the Discovery phase is to gain a shared understanding of the Vessel Registry service, its users, and their pain points, so that these can be addressed and improved in the solution. We want to reach a common understanding of the expected outcomes so that we can begin working progressively towards that new future-state for the Service.
Goals
Establish what the vessel registry service is
Who the vessel registry is for;
Why is the vessel registry important;
What a “good service” looks like
Outcomes
A clear idea of the scope of the new digital service
A shared understanding and buy-in of the senior stakeholders of what we are trying to achieve
What does success look like and a good idea of how to measure success
Think about all the people needed to build an alpha
