Redesign Decidim
🎨 Community participatory process for contributing to the Decidim redesign
About this process
This process belongs to Participate
We open a participatory process so that the community can contribute to the new Decidim redesign, which will be carried out by the winners of the Contracting of services for the development of the evolutive development of functionalities and participative experience of the Decidim platform, contract and the product team.
We are starting the process of redesigning Decidim, a path that will lead us to rethink the entire interface. We want to focus on the participant's experience, improving the usability and accessibility of the platform, to make a leap in quality that will allow us to expand the use of Decidim to the maximum.
Methodology
We will follow an agile, flexible and open work method. This will allow us to incorporate the contributions made by the community, while at the same time complying with the established schedule to deploy the improvements planned in the roadmap.
To organize the process we have decided to go from the most structural to the most concrete.That is, we want to start by analyzing those elements that have a greater impact on the platform as a whole, such as the navigation system or the cards. Then, later on, we will focus on those elements that have greater specificities, such as certain components.
Structure
Initially, a debate will be opened to carry out a collective diagnosis of the main pain points that Decidim has at the usability level. This discussion will serve as a starting point for the redesign team to start working on the first proposals.
This process will have several phases that will be defined as it progresses. At the moment an initial structure with 4 phases can be seen.
A similar structure will be repeated in each phase of the process:
- Community open discussion
- Redesign team work
- Mockup publication
- Community meeting
- Final iteration of the redesign team
Throughout the process, several meetings will be held to provide feedback on the proposals submitted. These meetings will focus on specific topics, those of greatest relevance for the design of the platform.
We also have opened an Element room to talk about the Decidim design: Join us!
Finally, as an operational matter, it will be the product team that will make the decisions on the implementation of the final designs.
