Planning activities for the Kick-Off Meeting

Since the Kick-Off meeting was the first time we would be introduced to our key stakeholders - and it was three hours long - we planned some activities to get them familiar with the way we work. These activities included some cool things like designing newspaper headlines and exploring user journeys together.  It would be a chance to introduce Code for Canada, ourselves, create a shared vision for the project, and give everyone a sense of how we work going to achieve that vision and work together (sprints, agile, project panel meetings).  More about the Kick-Off meeting soon!

Day 1 in Ottawa at Transport Canada

We received a warm welcome on our first day at Transport Canada, got our badges and were given a tour of the place. We also got to meet a lot of the key stakeholders in our project and everyone was so excited to see us. 

Pictured from left to right: Nicolas Horne - Director, Solution Centre, Andee, Fatima, Jen, and Wei Guang.  In this picture, we popped into a management meeting and even got to meet our CIO, Julie Leese and many people on her team.

The Digital Drone Collective!

That’s what we’re calling ourselves now - since we are a collective of individuals from Code For Canada Fellows, Transport Canada Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) task force and Transport Canda Digital Services.  Pictured from left to right: Jenn, Jeannie (RPAS), Andee, Fatima, Olivier (RPAS), and Wei Guang (Digital Services).  This was our first team photo to mark the end of an awesome week of onboarding in Toronto together. That past week was full of thoughtful speakers giving presentations, team activities, understanding our problem space and government partners better, and learning how to work well as a team.

The affinity mapping helped us better understand where we were headed. From there, we collaborated as a team on a couple more things - two of which are pictured here: The components diagram and the very first, and earliest visions of persona profiles.  The components diagram was putting together the features we saw emerging from the affinity mapping based on a scale of complexity and time. This allowed us to see what were “quick wins” and “MVP players” for our prototype. The persona profiles were Andee’s understanding of the types of recreational users and their goals in the drones ecosystem. These emerged from user testing and the various interviews that were collected.  If you’d like to hear more in-depth on this, let us know! (Fatima)

Our Sprint Challenge tasked us to figure out how user-friendly the current Where to Fly a drone tool was and to prototype a solution for how it could meet the needs of recreational drone users - a new user group for our government partner, Transport Canada.  The first we had to do was understand the domain so we did some user interviews over the phone with drone users. Once we had a better idea of the space, we prepared a script and conducted user testing of the existing tool - at Civic Tech Toronto’s hack night. It was really exciting and brought a lot of insight into what drone users were looking for in a tool that gave them information on where to fly.

From sprint week in the Code for Canada Onboarding - our team sprint schedule! Jen had the idea of making the scheduled items with small post-its so that we could be flexible (hint: agile joke) about moving things around when we had to. Our schedule grew and changed over time as we started to do user interviews, testing, design, and building (and testing) our prototype.
