City Principles
This page details the work being done to refresh the previous set of ‘City Principles’ as managed by the City Digital Partnerships Team. This refresh aims to:
Clarify commitment to City Partnership working.
Introduce additional principles from the updated Government Digital Service Standard, TOGAF, Agile methodologies and other sources.
Support decision-making for digital commissioning, guide projects and underpin business cases.
Address overlap between traditional architecture perspectives (business / application / technology).
Deliver digital transformation that reflects shared aspirations and goals for the city.
Ensure that the design of digital solutions takes into account everybody they impact on.
Maximise the benefits of information and consider it separately from the technology through which it flows.
Adopt approaches that promote integration and reuse by partner organisations (in the city and beyond).
Deliver benefits early, incrementally and engage with users to discover opportunities for improvement.
Choose tools and technology to deliver benefits in a cost-effective way.
