• Your responsibilities

    To successfully meet this criterion, agencies will need to:

    • understand the service’s users
    • conduct user research
    • test and validate designs.

    When to apply this criterion

    Apply Criterion 2 during the Discovery phase to validate initial assumptions made in Criterion 1 (‘Have a clear intent’). Test and validate the service with users as knowledge of the problem grows.

    User needs aren’t static. Revisit this criterion across the Service design and delivery process to provide reliable, accessible services to users, when they need them.

    Questions for consideration

    • Who will use this service?
    • What are their wants and needs?
    • What are their pain points and frustrations?
    • What is their current experience with this or other services?
    • What devices and technology do they use?

    How to apply criterion 2
