'''Aurora design system''' is a design language developed in 2018 by the Digital Collaboration Division within the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat of the Government of Canada.  
+
'''Aurora design system''' is a central design guide developed in 2018 by the Digital Collaboration Division within the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat of the Government of Canada. It was built through a collaborative effort between various designers, developers and writers across the Government of Canada.
 +
 
 +
Lead by the Digital Collaboration Division at the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Aurora design system was created in collaboration with the Canadian Digital Service: Talent Cloud, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and other individuals within Government of Canada. Aurora design system was created to standardize the visual language and user experience of the Open Accessible Digital Workplace's online applications and tools.
 +
 
 +
==Overview==
 +
Aurora design system is a catalogue of user interface elements, writing style, guiding principles, coding standards, visual design, etc. for use in the Open Accessible Digital Workplace's applications. It was built in the open with contributions from developers, designers, writers and data scientists. Aurora design system is an ongoing project. Future iterations will be made to increase the number of components available, expand its code and documentation, and improve its user experience attributes.
 +
 
 +
===Mission Statement===
 +
Make a design system for the Government of Canada’s digital collaboration tools that can also be reused and applied to other public or internal digital services and products. This system will help to ensure a seamless experience for users across platforms, will be easy to use, and quick for developers and designers to implement. The design system will provide a basic framework with guiding principles and components, with the ability to be adapted to other brands and needs.
 +
 
 +
===Principles=== 
 +
Aurora design system adheres to the following principles:
 +
 
 +
*'''Simple and flexible''': Provides all necessary elements without being restrictive. Aurora Design System is a lightweight system that can be adapted to suit a specific product.
 +
 
 +
*'''Fun to use''': Makes the job of developers and designers easier rather than add extra burdens or obligations to follow. Aurora Design System has an aesthetically pleasing design that is easy to navigate and adapt.
 +
 
 +
*'''Re-usable''': Suits a variety of needs. All components and principles are generic enough to be applied to a wide range of digital products. Code and design elements can easily be extracted to create new products, and communications guidelines are easy to understand and follow.
 +
 
 +
*'''Diverse''': Covers a variety of needs and types of products. Aurora Design System follows necessary Government of Canada obligations such as official languages and accessibility
 +
 
 +
*'''Technology agnostic''': Applicable to any technologic framework that a team decides to use for their project.
 +
 
 +
*'''Open''': To anyone who wishes to use it. All of Aurora Design System’s code is open source, and all other guidelines and elements are free to copy.

Le '''système de conception Aurora''' est un guide de conception central développé en 2018 par la Division de la collaboration numérique du Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du gouvernement du Canada. Il est le fruit d’un partenariat entre divers concepteurs, développeurs et rédacteurs du gouvernement du Canada.
−
==== Mission Statement: ====
 
−
Make a design
 
−
system for the Government of Canada’s digital collaboration tools that can also
 
−
be reused and applied to other public or internal digital services and
 
−
products. This system will help to ensure a seamless experience for users
 
−

Le système de conception Aurora permet de normaliser le langage visuel et l’expérience-utilisateur des applications et des outils en ligne de l’espace de travail numérique ouvert et accessible.
−
* '''Simple and flexible:''' a lightweight system that allows individual teams to adapt branding and other design elements to suit a specific project. The system will provide guidelines for all necessary elements without being restrictive.
 
−
* '''Fun to use:''' the system itself will have a pleasing design that is easy for developers and designers to navigate and adapt to their needs. Using the system will make their jobs easier rather than add an extra burden or obligations to follow.
 
−
* '''Re-usable:''' all components and principles included in the design system are generic enough to suit a variety of needs for multiple teams. Code and design elements can easily be extracted to create new products. Communications guidelines are easy to understand and follow.
 
−
* '''Diverse:''' The design system will cover a variety of needs and types of products. The system will also cover necessary government obligations such as official languages and accessibility.
 
−
* '''Technology agnostic:''' the design system is applicable regardless of which technology framework the team decides to use for their project.
 
−
* '''Open:''' the design system will be open and accessible to anyone who wishes to use it. All code is open source, and other guidelines and elements are free to copy.<br>
 
−
==== Project Phases ====
 
−
* '''Phase I:''' first prototype, design-focused elements and basic UI components. Includes elements that will be useful to all partners
 
−
* '''Phase II:''' improvement on the first version. Includes second priority items such as templates, branding, editorial guidelines, research and data guidelines, layouts, etc. These elements are more specific to the GCTools rebuild.
 
−
* '''Phase III:''' Includes elements that are “nice to haves”.More focus on process and guidelines, as well as customization for various partners/users of the system.
 
−
* '''Phase IV:''' Continuous improvement and updates to thesystem. Promoting and pitching the system to other users. Opportunities for newpartnerships.

*'''Simple et flexible''': Offre tous les éléments nécessaires sans être restrictif. Le système de conception Aurora est un système léger, qui peut être adapté à un produit particulier.

−
=== Agile Development ===
+
*'''Agréable à utiliser''': Facilite la tâche des développeurs et des concepteurs plutôt que de leur ajouter un fardeau ou des obligations. Le système de conception Aurora offre une conception esthétique facile à utiliser et à adapter.
−
The DCD team currently works using the agile development model. We will be following this model to build the design system with a specific theme for each sprint cycle.
 
  
−
'''Basic concept of agile:''' deliver products and features based on a set of minimum requirements, then review and improve the product through multiple iterations. Tasks are broken into small chunks that can typically be completed within one sprint (two-weeks).  
+
*'''Réutilisable''': Peut répondre à des besoins divers. Tous les composants et principes du système sont suffisamment généraux pour être appliqués à une vaste gamme de produits numériques. Les éléments du code et de la conception peuvent être facilement extraits pour créer de nouveaux produits, et les lignes directrices en matière de communication sont faciles à comprendre et à suivre.
  
−
Work is divided into '''sprint cycles'''. Each sprint cycle lasts 2-weeks and has a '''planning meeting''' to start it off, and a '''review meeting''' to go over work completed during the sprint. Every few sprint cycles there are also '''retrospective meetings''' where the team meets to discuss and review processes and best practices.  
+
*'''Diversifié''': Couvre une variété de besoins et de types de produits. Le système de conception Aurora respecte les obligations nécessaires du gouvernement du Canada telles que les langues officielles et l'accessibilité.
  
−
Each sprint planning is led by a scrum-master (Sierra) who assigns team members to each specific task that has been identified for that sprint. Tasks are categories using a points-system which indicates the amount of effort/time required to complete the task. The goal is to complete as many points as possible by the end of the sprint (ideally all of the points that were assigned). 
+
*'''Indépendant des technologies déployées''': Applicable à tout cadre technologique qu'une équipe décide d'utiliser pour son projet.
  
−
In the DCD team, code is stored and reviewed in a [https://github.com/gctools-outilsgc/design-system Github repository]. This Github repository is connected to a service called [https://zube.io/ Zube], which is a workspace where the scrum-master can manage and assign tasks.
+
*'''Ouvert''': Ouvert et accessible à quiconque souhaite l’utiliser. Tous les codes sources du système de conception Aurora sont ouverts, et les lignes directrices et autres éléments peuvent être copiés librement.

Aurora design system is a central design guide developed in 2018 by the Digital Collaboration Division within the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat of the Government of Canada. It was built through a collaborative effort between various designers, developers and writers across the Government of Canada.

Lead by the Digital Collaboration Division at the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Aurora design system was created in collaboration with the Canadian Digital Service: Talent Cloud, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and other individuals within Government of Canada. Aurora design system was created to standardize the visual language and user experience of the Open Accessible Digital Workplace's online applications and tools.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Aurora design system is a catalogue of user interface elements, writing style, guiding principles, coding standards, visual design, etc. for use in the Open Accessible Digital Workplace's applications. It was built in the open with contributions from developers, designers, writers and data scientists. Aurora design system is an ongoing project. Future iterations will be made to increase the number of components available, expand its code and documentation, and improve its user experience attributes.

Mission Statement[edit | edit source]

Make a design system for the Government of Canada’s digital collaboration tools that can also be reused and applied to other public or internal digital services and products. This system will help to ensure a seamless experience for users across platforms, will be easy to use, and quick for developers and designers to implement. The design system will provide a basic framework with guiding principles and components, with the ability to be adapted to other brands and needs.

Principles[edit | edit source]

Aurora design system adheres to the following principles:

  • Simple and flexible: Provides all necessary elements without being restrictive. Aurora Design System is a lightweight system that can be adapted to suit a specific product.
  • Fun to use: Makes the job of developers and designers easier rather than add extra burdens or obligations to follow. Aurora Design System has an aesthetically pleasing design that is easy to navigate and adapt.
  • Re-usable: Suits a variety of needs. All components and principles are generic enough to be applied to a wide range of digital products. Code and design elements can easily be extracted to create new products, and communications guidelines are easy to understand and follow.
  • Diverse: Covers a variety of needs and types of products. Aurora Design System follows necessary Government of Canada obligations such as official languages and accessibility
  • Technology agnostic: Applicable to any technologic framework that a team decides to use for their project.
  • Open: To anyone who wishes to use it. All of Aurora Design System’s code is open source, and all other guidelines and elements are free to copy.
