Weeknotes
-
The Queen is Dead
Collaborating when you’re working from home, assurance processes, and a diagram of our service. Week five at NHS Digital’s Data Services.
-
The Validation
It’s my fourth week at NHS Digital in the Data Services directorate, and let it be known that I’m having a good time.
-
The Forest
A vision workshop, making connections, and validating a gut feel about our programme.
-
The Assimilation
Gelling with the team and people around me was a big focus this week, and furthering my understanding of how teams and people work together to achieve our goals.
-
The Return
Back in the public sector, back to writing weeknotes. This week I started a new job as senior product manager in NHS Digital’s Data Services directorate.
-
The Macs
It’s been 3 months since I started my new role, so I figured it was time to cover what I’ve been doing. It is a lot.
-
The Last Weeknote?
So there you go, my time at Government Digital Service has come to an end.
-
The Alpha Continued
I haven’t written any notes in a while, but there’s a few things I should jot down about the alpha.
-
The Alpha
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. We kicked off the quarter, onboarded new team members, and started talking about what we’ll do in the alpha phase following on from last quarter’s discovery.
-
The Decision
After 8 weeks, we’ve concluded our discovery into which payment options to support next.
-
The Sense-making
The discovery is drawing near to its close, and we had some thoughts about what we’d do in offices when those open again.
-
The Deeper Analysis
We dived more deeply into our research with services to pull out user needs, pain points and behaviours around two payment options: telephone payments and recurring payments through Direct Debit.
-
The Analysis
This week in the payment options discovery, we analysed our research with 16 services and organisations using GOV.UK Pay. We also launched an MVP.
-
The Interviews 2
Slide decks, synchronicity in discoveries, and chats with great people.
-
The Interviews
Late getting these notes out so I’ll be brief! Covers 22–28 February.
-
The Liminal Space Again
Most of the week was spent continuing our discovery into new payment types and channels. I also had some news following my interview last week.
-
The Disco
This week we kicked off the discovery into new payment types and channels, ending the week on a shared view and a plan for the next 8 weeks.
-
The Water
We’ve reached the end of series 10 with the closure of one mission, the beginning of a discovery starting next week. Thoughts on communities of practice, Zoom fatigue and collaboration.
-
The Third Birthday
Yesterday was my GDS 3rd birthday 🥳 and I still feel quite lucky to work there. Pushing through to clear the to-do list is tough right now though, eh?
-
The Creamy Rips
Coming back to writing weeknotes, so I’m here to properly close off series 10. Wrapping up a mission, chats with stakeholders, getting ready for discovery.
