What do you need to put in place to get these benefits? You can pick up your copy from the usual outlets like Whitcoulls or pop into Boost to grab a cuppa and one of ours.

With our plate full of client projects, we’ve had to hit pause on our two-day Agile course. We’ve still got a couple of seats available, so if you’re looking for effective Agile training from working (and possibly overworked) Agile coaches, book your place today. You’ll get a solid grounding in the Agile mindset and then complete practical exercises that show you how to make the mindset work for you. You’ll come away with the tools you need to deliver more every day. |

| New design system for government websites The team at Government Information Services have put together an alpha version of a design system for public sector websites. The design system gives agencies a catalogue of reusable components and patterns for building websites and applications. Getting off-the-shelf building blocks makes it quicker and easier to develop sites, especially since accessibility and usability are baked into each element in the system. Find out what’s been built so far, what’s being worked on, and how you can get involved: Design system for NZ public sector websites  → |
