Finding Things

There’s a lot of information about Digital Marketplace in various places - here’s a quick guide.

Developer Manual

What you’re reading right now! This is aimed at developers but contains useful info for the wider team:

You can also search the manual by keywords, using the box on the top left.

Shared Drive

A Google Drive folder for the whole team. This contains a number of useful folders, including:

  • Developers: technical RFCs and historical notes, guide to Developer jargon

  • Decisions: records of any decisions made by the team (e.g. ‘Disable Google Analytics December 2019’)

  • User journeys: slides containing screenshots of our main user journeys

  • Mission work: past missions, organised by year/quarter (dates back to Jan 2018)

The shared drive also contains the Runbook, which has detailed information for running a framework iteration (aimed at non-developers).

Trello

Historically, the Digital Marketplace was managed with Trello. Ask the team for access to the Trello workspaces and boards.

We currently use three boards:

Support

https://trello.com/b/NnlGJoWD/dmp-support-rota

Used to manage incoming support requests, bugs and regular chores. This board also contains:

  • Templates for common tasks (including scheduled chores)

  • Handy shortcut links (should all be in this developer manual as well)

  • Watch list (things we need to keep an eye on and regularly review)

DMP Sprint doing

https://trello.com/b/OYsPnAd7/dmp-sprint-doing

This was the board used by Cabinet Office CDIO and CCS to manage the transition of the Digital Marketplace to CCS. Still tracking the final bits of transition work.

Backlog

https://trello.com/b/u5IzbPuD/backlog

The backlog board used by the old Cabinet Office CDIO team. Now only relevant for containing a few historic tickets relevant to ongoing support or G13/DOS6.

Still can’t find it?

If you have a technical question, ask the developers in the #general Slack channel, or via Google chat :)
