Project Overview The Province has a strategic role within government to drive efficiencies, innovation and modernization. As part of this role, the Province is expanding the GoA’s digital delivery of services with the view of simplifying and providing better user experiences with interactions with the GoA. The Digital Design and Delivery Division (“3D”), is the Province’s centre for digital delivery. It was established to maximize capability and confidence in modern digital practice by ensuring service quality and value through standards and controls. This includes utilizing human-centred design approaches together with agile methodology and modern data practices. 3D works in partnership with GoA ministries to deliver programs that better serve Albertans. The Province requires up to fifty seven (57) Full Stack Developers to work with 3D on service innovation, program review and digital transformation projects across the GoA. The Full Stack Developers will work as part of cross-functional program review or product delivery teams. These teams, led by GoA product owners and 3D work collaboratively and collectively participate in a full range of activities including: field research, backlog definition and refinement, and sprint planning and execution. Digital transformation projects review the current state of services, identify future opportunities, and then deliver new services that are efficient, effective and affordable. The Full Stack Developer(s) will participate in and contribute to a team’s shared understanding on a number of project issues including the related software ecosystem, the project team working agreement, and any current service implementation. They will also work to develop functionality in the provision of services to the public by the GoA.

Scope of Services
Services and project deliverables should evolve as the work progresses, in response to emerging user and business needs, as well as design and technical opportunities. However, the following must be delivered (iteratively) over the course of the project:

1. Participate and contribute to project research and discovery: a. Contribute to field research and user interviews; and b. Lead technical discovery and deliver related Artifacts such as diagrams and documentation.
2. Provide solution design and development services related to: a. Detailed solution designs based on shared understanding from discovery; b. Completion of features for the continued development of exemplar projects that meet the needs of the product owners and improve the experience of Albertans; c. Functional and non-functional defect discovery and resolution; and d. Enhancements to solution code quality, tooling, and documentation for improved maintainability.
3. Collaborate with frontend designers to deliver solutions aligned to a consistent look and feel.
4. Advise and inform product owners on technical efforts and implementation options to facilitate frequent delivery.
5. Support solution deployment and launch for limited and general availability.
6. Contribute to a platform of user-centric services through: a. Focus on reuse in solution design and implementation; and b. Direct contribution to reusable common components and capabilities.
7. Sustain ongoing development through onboarding of technical team members, maintaining technical documentation, adopting and improving team development and quality practices and processes. The Province and the Contractor shall determine changes to Services and Materials as required. The Province and the Contractor will determine changes to Services and Materials through the Artifacts.
