Digital Services Spooky Showcase
Great to see you, sorry if we missed you!
If you were able to attend, thank you for coming along to the first Digital Services Showcase – an event designed to help the team share what we’re doing, celebrate successes and get to know each other.
There will be regular showcases throughout the year but, in the meantime, you can revisit or discover what was covered below.
Designing and Developing a new University app
A big thanks to Liz (Senior Project Manager) Dale (Digital Development and Integration Manager) and Wayne (Senior Lecturer, School of Design) for kicking off with the first presentation, outlining the progress being made on a new student facing University app.
This project is using student driven insight and an agile approach to deliver a minimum viable product (MVP) by January 2024.
Automation
Michael (Information Service Developer) was next to tell us about breadth automation spans, from improving the accuracy and speed of work to new automated solutions for the more repetitive daily tasks, with the aim of freeing up capacity to make time for more meaningful, value adding activities.
If you are aware of processes which would be good candidates for automation please visit​

Digital Delivery
Ellie (Project Manager), Niall (Senior Business Analyst) and Ben (Head of Digital Product Delivery) followed with an overview of the new Digital Delivery team, outlining their objectives over the next 6-12 months to ‘foster a culture of delivery’.
They will be championing a product-first approach, telling our story and making the work we do much more visible.
Training & Personal Development
Jody (Director of Digital Delivery) closed with updates on the investment secured for training this year and beyond, with a commitment to protected time to allow this, and an invitation to form a working group comprised of volunteers from across Digital Services to come up with a plan for what we need and how we can achieve it.
What’s to come?
We will be running showcases regularly throughout the year, with the next one planned for 31 January 2024. If you want to show off a bit and tell the wider team what you’ve been up to, then please contact JoWatson@lincoln.ac.uk.
