Sandbox
Deliverable: in progress
Roadmap: Sandbox Roadmap
Focal Point: Nico Lueck
Value Proposition (for each target group):
For Non-technical Government Officials who want to digitally transform their government services our Sandbox is a learning and testing environment that is simulating a small governmental e-service system making the GovStack approach understandable and tangible.
For Technical Government Experts who want to select the best architecture and software applications for their digital services project our Sandbox is a learning and testing environment that is providing a reference implementation of the architecture and BB approach and toolkit for replicating the system.
For Software Vendors who want to expand the potential market of their software products our Sandbox is a learning and testing environment that is showcasing BB compliant software products.
For System Integrators who want to offer services based on GovStack our Sandbox is a learning and testing environment that documented and published in a way to ease the tasks of setting up an own dedicated test environment.

Reference Use Cases
Deliverable: https://govstack.gitbook.io/product-use-cases/
Roadmap: https://govstack-global.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/PRD/boards/25
Focal Point: Wes Brown
Value Proposition (for each target group):
For Building Block Leads who lead building block development our use cases are the driving documents that provide scope and prioritization
For Country Engagement Teams who work with country user journeys and functional requirements our use case development process is the mechanism to identify and develop generalized use cases which highlight the core use case process and potential decision points within that process
For Government Representatives and System Integrators who want to leverage GovStack for real-world implementations the reference use cases can help ensure that systems are well-designed and follow established best practices

Implementation Playbook
Deliverable: https://govstack.gitbook.io/implementation-playbook/
Roadmap:
https://govstack-global.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/GSCIJ/boards/40/roadmap
Focal Point: Martinez, Yolanda (Deactivated)
Value Proposition (for each target group):
Playbook is intended to be used by digital teams involved in the digitization of government services. Each section of the playbook describes which roles within a digital team are responsible for implementing each step of the GovStack Building Block approach (design services using a sequence of tools and methods to understand user needs, map user journeys & life events, and integrate prototypes in an agile way using reusable software components from the GovStack sandbox.).

Roadmap: https://solutions-catalog.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SOLUTIONS/pages/247955482/Product+Roadmap
Focal Point: Sarah Farooqi
Value Proposition (for each target group):
Demand-side actors:
For researchers in digital development who want a “one-stop-shop” of deeply-linked information, the Exchange provides a repository of on products, use cases, technical specs, resources, etc. that they can browse, compare, or contribute to.
For governments or organizations who have formal opportunities they want to find vendors for, the Exchange has 1) an RFP radar that is a central location to aggregate opportunities on digital development, and 2) self-maintained information on vendors. (*coming soon)
Supply-side actors:
For product owners who want to amplify their products to the GovStack community, the Exchange provides them with a page to keep their product info up-to-date by linking to relevant use cases and building blocks, and to share information on implementations and deployments.
For vendors who want to find opportunities that they can respond to (such as RFPs) and who want to advertise their services, the Exchange provides them with a central location to search for opportunities, and share information on their profiles about previous experience. (*coming soon)
For digital development experts who want to share their best practices or experiences, the Exchange has playbooks that they can create, update, share, and embed, to support a growing body of research.
Other
For organizations who want to their own private portal of content, the Exchange can be white-labeled and customized with different branding so that they can use the functionality and/or data of the platform.
