Project: CE100

Problem Overview

- The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s (EMF) CE100 membership programme - fosters collaboration among their members to discuss challenges and - share insights, with the interaction among members being mostly - contained to three physical events a year. + The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s CE100 membership Programme supports + a wide range of Circular Economy stakeholders to learn, innovate, + and generally collaborate with each other. +
+ EMF had a very common but very broad challenge - getting busy offline + members to interact and engage online, as the interaction among + members was mostly contained to three physical events a year.

+

Approach

- Members of the dwyl team led an initial problem workshop to help the EMF - team understand the pain points across the organisation and narrow down - the area of focus to where the most value would be added - in this case, - by solving the problem of lack of continuous engagement in their CE100 - programme. This was then followed by two detailed design and technical - workshops. + dwyl’s approach involved workshopping pain points directly with the + EMF team to narrow down focus onto the key issue of continuous + engagement, resulting in a genuinely collaborative solution - a + platform for members to share and solve each other’s challenges (in + addition to standard features like a directory & intuitive admin + interface). This was all built over several engagements based on user + feedback, along with two detailed design and technical + workshops.

-

Solution Overview

+

Solution

- A digital membership platform which allows members to share challenges - and respond to challenges faced by other members. + We were delighted to be able to use only open source technologies + like the powerful PostgresQL database, alongside our oft-used stack + of Node.js and Hapi.js. +
+ By taking a highly modular microservices approach to designing the + architecture, we were able to ensure that new features could be + integrated quickly and easily without impact on existing + functionality. +
+ In our latest set of sprints we have been working with EMF on to + integrate their asset management API into the application, supporting + its development through a series of spikes and incremental + integrations.

Project: Skills Wheel

Problem Overview

- Inclusive Classrooms is a small not-for-profit who help teaching - assistants work with and monitor children’s social aptitudes and - progression. Aptitudes are measured using a questionnaire that is - displayed visually as a wheel. Up until this point, Inclusive - Classrooms had manually collected their data and manually transferred - it to a spreadsheet for analysis. + Inclusive Classrooms is a non-profit helping teaching assistants (TAs) + monitor kids’ social aptitudes and progression. +
+ Before we came in, the teachers filled in 'skills wheels' manually + and data was manually inputted into spreadsheets - so our task was to + make the process digital, with an output that would make life easier + for people analysing the results. (Lightening the load for good causes + is what we live for!)

-

Solution Overview

+

Approach

- This was a very short project (1 sprint) enabling digital data - collection in a format that would be most useful to those analysing it. + We had to think hard about designing a system that involved a simple + and friendly questionnaire, super simple data collection & storage, + and easy-to-use analysis tools on a very small budget. +
+ We problem-solved together to find the simplest possible MVP: + design, a simple data entry form and drawing the ‘skills wheel’, + a visual representation of the data for the TA. +
+ When a second round of funding came in a year later we sat together + to workshop what the evolution of the application could be, both in + terms of design and features (logging in, historical skills wheels, + admin dashboard) based on a year’s worth of usage by TAs. +

+

Solution

+

+ Others can reinvent the wheel, especially with time a factor: + dwyl has a wealth of open source work to draw on, so that’s where + we started. Using a tutorial we’d written previously, we quickly + developed a solution for saving data not just to our database + (for future use) but directly into a Google spreadsheet for access + until there was time and funding for an admin dashboard. +
+ We used D3.js to create engaging “skills wheels” - visual + representations of the data both current and historical, and + everything else was done with our Elixir stack. We added PDFs for + download and an admin dashboard to allow specific school domains to + be granted access to the application and TAs to manage their students + & groups.

Project: Collections Online

Problem Overview

- The Science Museum Group (SMG) owns a wealth of data on objects, - inventors and archived documents. The Group was already working to - clean up their data, but had no way for the public to access this - information. The dwyl team undertook an initial requirements transfer - workshop with the product owner and the SMG’s designer to understand - the work that the SMG designer had already carried out with users. We - established that the problem faced by the SMG was not just how to give - the public access to the data, but how to do so in a way that those - who wanted to use the data could do so with ease. + With a century and a half’s worth of data on objects, inventors, + and archived documents, creating a public-facing portal for the + Science Museum Group’s (SMG) archives was as much about making the + search results engaging as available. +
+ But the real challenge was around working without control over the + data itself (which was still being cleansed and homogenised), or + direct access to the Elasticsearch database managed by a 3rd party!

-

Solution Overview

+

Approach

- The dwyl team created an online records system with a simple search - interface and API functionality. + With a wealth of information to be made accessible to the public, + starting with a workshop with SMG and their designer was essential to + understanding how to give users the results they needed in a clear + and engaging format. +
+ We used these insights and an iterative approach to features to + develop a search portal that was fast, granular, but also contained + enough interactive features to keep casual users interested. We + learned from users and stakeholders, making improvements across + multiple sprints and engagements. +

+

Solution

+

+ Lacking access to the database meant working with and around a busy + 3rd party, planning and replanning when their deadlines were not met. + This didn’t faze us! We developed a seriously fast search solution + that was powerful and intelligent enough to provide weighted related + items in addition to direct search results. +
+ The RESTful developer API was then created and extensive + documentation made available in a Github Wiki. Although our API + development time was squeezed due to some excellent user requests for + the public facing site, we got excellent feedback from the community + at our ‘trial by fire’ at the + Science Museum Hack Day!
