This project is a collaboration with Blueprint, The Dais, Digital Governance Council and Imagine Canada.
This prototype consists of one key input activity, creating a User Story Map, and three distinct synthesis activities that build on the user story map. Each activity takes approximately two to four hours to complete and the whole process is meant to be completed over several weeks to provide appropriate time for reflection and validation among staff.
The four instructional documents for each activity contain an overview of the activity, learning objectives, preparatory guidance, and step-by-step instructions including links to templates and examples. This prototype is meant to guide, not prescribe an approach. While each activity offers suggested formats, templates, and examples, feel free to adapt them to fit your organization. We encourage you to use a process you have already mapped, are familiar with or prioritize synthesis activities for your organization’s current needs or time constraints.
