Use cases from our country partners are used to showcase the benefits of GovStack according to the user stories which can be found here: Functional Scope of the Sandbox
In addition, the prototyped use cases shall also be of value for the countries who designed and provide these. For this purpose, we envision a person from the country (as a country representative or dedicated proxy) to follow the use case through the different processing steps (Service Design, Generalization to Reference Use Case by PC, Sequencing by TC, Modelling and prototyping by Sandbox team) following the principles of collaboration and early involvement.
Prioritization
The country representative (or proxy) shall inform the partners about different options for prototypes and guide the focus of the prototype development based on the value proposition he/she sees for the country by prototyping the use case. The focus could look like as follows:
Horizontal focus: Cover as many process steps of the use case as possible but restrict possible user path ways through the process (follow a guided “happy path” without every thinkable if/but derivation). This option includes the UI (frontend) and the functional BB layer (backend).
OR
Vertical focus: Cover all possible user paths (as much if/but derivations as possible) but restrict to a few selected process steps. This option includes the UI (frontend) and the functional BB layer (backend).
OR
UI focus: Cover as much process steps of the use case on the UI via wireframes and/or frontend but do not add the functional BB layer (backend).
OR
BB focus: Cover as much process steps of the use case with one BB application candidate. This option uses only the frontend and backend functionalities of one BB application (e.g. eRegistration by UNCTAD).
Why is a focus needed?
With the given resources, it is impossible to implement a country use case in an end-to-end and fully functional manner (frontend + backend).
Implementation
Phase 1: Business Analysis
Prerequisites:
Prioritization is defined (see above)
Fixed time box: 2 sprints (1 month)
Participants: UX Designer, Business Analyst, Country Representative
Deliverable: BPMN Diagram of the to be implemented use case steps (example: USCT MVP)
Phase 2: Development
Prerequisites:
BPMN Diagram
Needed BB candidate applications integrated in Sandbox environment
Fixed timebox: 4 sprints (2 months)
Participants: Full Stack of Gofore Developer Team, Country Representative
Deliverable: Use Case Prototype according to the agreed prioritization. The functional scope is based on what the team can deliver in the given time box
