Our clear vision and broad principles are guiding us towards the vision. These are updated regularly, as digital is a fast-changing world.
We have built up skilled and experienced teams to deliver products using our Lean and Agile methodologies, guided by the Digital Product Development Framework (DPDF).
We are learning by doing - experimenting, prototyping, showcasing, testing and refining, until we have a usable product. We do this so we can discard unworkable ideas quickly and focus on the good ideas.
Digital and other Te Papa teams are working effectively together to deliver digital products.
We consider the particular requirements of audiences for digital products, as different from on-the-floor use
We create reusable products, where possible, rather than most things being one-offs for a particular exhibition. This makes it easier to refresh (and maintain) products after their initial implementation.
We define success measures for our products and collect data and analyse it, to learn what works and what doesn’t, so we can improve.
We take professional development and continuous improvement seriously and make sure we build in the capacity for this in our plans.
Transparency is important. We have great communication within the team, and beyond, so everyone knows what we’re doing and why.
