The Digital Collaboration uses an Agile framework to develop and release digital products.

Agile

Agile is an umbrella term for a variety of development methods which focus on adaptability, continuous development, iteration and collaboration.[1]

Stages of Development and Release

DCD uses open-source software to develop applications, and follows three stages for releasing these applications.

Pilot

DCD may test multiple open-source applications to develop a particular tool. When a tool is in pilot it means that an open-source application is being tested to see if it can meet the users' needs, before the tool begins a more comprehensive development by the DCD team. If the open-source application is unsuitable, a different application will undergo pilot testing.

Currently the following tools are in pilot:
