» Too often, ‘building’ becomes the default state for a product team, at the expense of other valuable ways of working

» An product team should not be so rigid that it cannot cope with the occasional mandate from above

Object-oriented approaches in action

How is it 2024 and the GOVUK “Replace a lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed driving licence” service hasn’t been updated to the GDS service standard? Simple process but really hard to complete on mobile. #DigitalGovernment #GOVUK #DigitalServices #DigitalServiceStamdard #GDS #DVLA #UKGov #DrivingLicence #GovernmentDigitalService

The #GDS Service Standard and design has brought trust and ease of use to many #GOVUK websites. The start page for renewing your driving licence starts well then quickly moves here. If it wasn't on a Gov.uk domain with a valid certificate, I'd have no trust in this and not use the service. #DigitalGovernment #GovernmentDigitalService #DVLA
