Prediscovery and planning follows conception and ideation in the service and website design and delivery process.
Pre-discovery
In pre-discovery, a member of the eServices team will meet with the department service owner. The purpose of pre-discovery is to learn more about your project so we can determine our level of involvement. We do this by completing a pre-discovery survey.
Once we complete the survey, we'll review the information and produce a pre-discovery report. If we determine we have a role in the project, we'll move it through our intake process.
Planning
Intake focuses on planning the project. This is where a member of the eServices team will help outline the project scope, review the budget, confirm roles and determine how the project team will work together to deliver the service.
Outline the project scope
The project scope includes:
- defined business outcomes;
- a planned content migration approach;
- a planned French translation approach; and
- a project communications plan.
Plan client involvement
Planning client involvement is where your eServices delivery manager will meet with the project team to:
- establish the plan for the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA);
- establish the plan for the Security and Threat Risk Assessment (STRA);
- establish the approach to management approvals; and
- to clarify project roles and responsibilities.
Plan the project
Among other things, your eServices delivery manager will:
- ensure the project team has identified the project manager;
- help identify if a vendor is needed and for what phase(s) and activities;
- determine if Discovery and Prototype development (Alpha) will be combined;
- hold a the project kick-off meeting; and
- work with the project manager and team to provide inputs to the project schedule.
