Key drivers for this success?

• Meeting user needs – using agile development to build a core digital service quickly and then continually improving it to make it better

• Digital by default – all new and redesigned digital government services that are so good people prefer to use them

• Reducing cost – for users and for Government

Government Digital Services saved €250m last year by:• scrutinising digital and IT spend requests across government• transitioning websites to single site GOV.UK• transforming online services

Lasting Powers of Attorney ‐ challenges

• Agency‐wide digital transformation to allow the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to become a digital exemplar 

• Building support models for new digital services – the service wrap

• Going first! • Design and digital skills needed are very new • A Lasting Power of Attorney is a Deed – we are still challenged 

by the need for a ‘wet’ signature and may need legislative changes

Overcoming design and implementation problems

• Agile approach – open and transparent, closer to users, empowering teams, seeing risks early and addressing them

• Support from Government Digital Services to meet Digital by Default Service Standard – includes assisted digital

• Involved users in designing and developing the service making the many small improvements users asked for

• New ways of procuring: new government digital frameworks,  user stories instead of rigid specification, shorter contracts to allow flexibility, open source software development and support

Agile delivery methods

• Using ‘Scrum’ methodology for software development • Building incrementally: iterative, small products delivered 

quickly, focused on user need• Team empowered to deliver• Testing with real users as soon as possible• Short, time‐boxed cycles (sprints)• Moved focus from process to customer outcomes, we no 

longer measure how quickly we digitally move a piece of paper but measure what the impact is on the customer

Digitising Criminal Justice System ‐ challenges

• OPG is a single agency, Criminal Justice System much more complex, integrating systems between many different players e.g. digital case files, storing and accessing digital evidence

• Crime is becoming more digital, evidential base is becoming more digital even for non‐digital crimes 

• Agile approach to build a Criminal Justice System for the future• Empower teams to have authority for making fast decisions and 

identifying benefits ‐ what can we do now that meets future need?• User‐first: find out who they are, involve them early, ask them what 

they want, build to their needs, take their feedback and act on it
