Title: UK Government Digital Service Design Principles
Context: Competency? In design? From a government agency? The Mayans were right!
Synopsis: Design is indeed changing the world. Want proof? Check out the elegantly concise design principles being shared – YES! SHARED! – by the UK Government’s Digital Service. Where is the ministerial doublespeak? What happened to the bureaucratic incompetence? How about the impenetrable governmental secrecy? Up is down! Black is white! It’s a brand new day. And the most shockingly impressive part of this whole thing is that these principles are actually pretty damn good, straightforward and sensible. Go on UK Government Digital Service with your bad design principle self. And by “bad”, I mean very, very good.
Best Bit: “The best way to build effective services is to start small and iterate wildly. Release Minimum Viable Products early, test them with real users, move from Alpha to Beta to Launch adding features and refinements based on feedback from real users.”
