The GovStack Implementation Playbook provides guidance and examples of how governments can incorporate a Building Block (BB) and principles to design and deliver government digital services at national, state, municipal, and local levels. Governments can get started from a variety of different points depending on their objectives, context, and needs. GovStack can be used by governments at any stage of their digital journey.
The Playbook is intended to be used by digital teams - service designers, solution architects, developers, lawyers, product managers, behavioral scientists, and user needs researchers, among others who are involved in the digitization of government services.
Each section of the playbook suggests activities, provides examples, resources, and roles within a digital team responsible for implementing the suggested activity.
The playbook also integrates a curated set of best practices coming from different assessment frameworks developed by International Organizations like ITU, OECD, UNDP, and World Bank, among others. It also gathers reference tools and methods from digital services manuals, and design standards developed by different digital service teams worldwide. Like but not limited to:
The Government Digital Service in the United Kingdom
18F in the United States
gob.pe digital service team in Perú
gob.mx digital service team in México
Canada Digital Service
Australia Digital Government Office
Ireland Digital Service
