About the event
The Canadian Digital Service (CDS) will be taking participants through an immersive and interactive workshop which brings groups together to collaborate on building service maps. Participants will be given a list of design challenges that exist within the public sector. This workshop highlights service design as a team sport and showcases how the service map is a living document that is iterated on throughout the product delivery lifecycle. Service maps enable teams to see potential opportunities for change, mitigate risks, and strategically inform a product roadmap. CDS will also showcase a few examples of how service maps have been used on different product teams in government.
