Who the specialist will work with | The specialist will be working as part of the EU Emissions Trading System team which are developing a service to replace the current service should the UK exit from the European Union and no longer be a member of the EU ETS. As some team members may be more junior or new to agile ways of working, the role could include elements of coaching and mentoring. The specialist will need to assist in managing wider stakeholder expectations and respond in ways that other people understand. The team consists of a DM, UR, BA, PM, TA and Dev. |
What the specialist will work on | Working collaboratively with the alpha team to build and test prototypes of the ETS service with end-users. The discovery recommended a list of prioritised journeys/features to be prototyped. The specialist will show the value of working in a user-centred, agile way. The team may consider doing design sprints, thus facilitation experience would be valuable. Work will be informed and iterated based on user-needs gathered through research and usability testing. Key patterns and learnings developed in this process will be reused. The role will involve prototyping on all levels of fidelity, from paper to use of the GDS design toolkit. |
