Learning Paths
Guide your digital team through two hands-on learning paths to understand key design and architecture principles of GovStack. Accomplishing these path ways is a perfect preparation for prototyping and implementing services based on the GovStack approach.
Path 1: Service Design
Participants: Business Analysts, Domain Experts, UX Designers
Objective: Design a selected use case to a developer-ready stage and learn methodology along the way
Deliverables: User Journey(s), Service Blueprint, Wireframes
Activities:
Select a use case with your team
Inform yourself about the suggest GovStack methodology
GovStack Sandbox Example Service: Construction Permit
Create As-Is and To-Be Use Journeys using the User Journey Template (click on the arrow next to the title to duplicate the template)
For an introduction, watch our explanatory User Journey video
As a workshop method, you may use the GovStack Design Sprint proposal
Create a Service Blueprint using the Service Blueprint Template
For an introduction, watch our explanatory Service Blueprint video
Create wireframes using the GovStack Wireframe Kit
Success! The service design team is ready to hand over the service to the developers.
Path 2: Architecture
Target group: IT Achitects, Software Engineers and Backend Developers
Objective: Learn how GovStack architecture can be technically implemented in practice
Deliverables: Local deployment of Sandbox Minikube
Activities:
Inform yourself about the technical theory and practice of the GovStack approach
Get familiar with the Building Block architecture using GovStack architecture specifications and Building Block specifications
Compare specification and actual implementation of concepts like “Building Blocks”, “Information Mediator Security Server”, “Emulators”, “Adapters”, … using GovStack Sandbox USCT Technical Demo
Deploy a “light” version (Use Case Frontend + X-Road + BB Emulator) of the USCT Technical Demo to observe the architecture on your local system
