This wiki is home to planning and roadmap documents for the dashboard section of 18f.gsa.gov.

Principles

This website team follows user-centered development practices as best it can. As such, it follows a hypothesis-driven design and development cycle.

Key documents

Current status

Version 0 of the dashboard launched in mid-2014 in response to a repeated request to have a central place to track 18F projects from start to completion. Since then, we've learned more about what people expect from such a dashboard and an official Version 1 is now under planning and development.

Right now, we know much more about internal dashboard user needs than external user dashboard needs. As such, design solutions to meet internal needs are less risky than those we imagine will meet external user needs. Research priority, then, is on external users.

You can track our overall development and design progress by viewing open issues. We archive learnings from each usability sprint in the research branch of this repo. Any memos on broader user experience research will be in that research folder as well.

Participating in dashboard development

You can add a new issue to bring a bug or suggestion to the attention of the development team. If you are member of the 18F team, you can also reach out in #dashboard on Slack.
