Description
The UK government does not have a good history of IT delivery. The Government Digital Service (GDS), a new "startup" team within Cabinet Office, has been bucking this trend by successfully delivering GOV.UK, the UK's single government domain, using open source tech and agile development.
My talk will focus on 7 innovative feedback techniques that the GDS team uses to improve their daily work.
Benefits for the attendees
Attendees will learn about feedback techniques - such as releasing early, user testing, product analytics, direct user feedback to improve the product, and others - and see concrete examples of their application. |
