These notes are designed to provide a brief overview of the status of the project for both OMAFRA and Code for Canada staffers. Our other blog posts will cover specific project areas in deeper detail.

For context, we are currently working from home due to restrictions placed in place to control COVID-19. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to push out Week 11 notes.

Activities

We’re wrapping our research phase. Specifically, this has entailed:

• sending in a draft problem statement for review
• completion of specialist research synthesis
• researching a framework for hiring software development capacity on a time basis as opposed to a project basis
• met with the RIBS project team and reviewed
• reviewed the Scoutek app
• prepared the draft of our first public post

As we close out research, we’re working towards developing a solution. Specific actions to be taken include:

• concluding the data jurisdiction scan
• determining if we would need to conduct a privacy assessment
• coordinating with the ODS on measuring and evaluation
• beginning the ideation process
