Accepted products for designing and delivering digital services in DfE when a technical standard is in development.

All teams must follow the digital, data and technology standards to support delivery in DfE. For architects, that means following the architectural DDT standards.

The application of standards is generally assured through co-design in teams, and peer review in architecture and technical communities. There will also be checks that standards have been met during service assessment. Occasionally, there may be spot checks to ensure consistent and appropriate application of DfE technical standards.

Accepted products

While architectural and technical standards are being developed, where relevant, we have accepted that can use. Accepted products are products that are currently in use in the department and make most sense to either use or re-use.

If you choose one of these products, you are most likely to be aligned with the standard being developed. More will be added as more data is gathered and analysed.
