Overview
The digital technology capability model provides a structured approach to understanding and developing a common language for a digital department's technology landscape.
This model offers:
- clear guidance on how to identify, map and assess technology capabilities across government digital and data functions
- common standards, shared components and reusable services
- the ability to reduce duplication, improve interoperability and make clear investment decisions
This model is developed iteratively. Updates will be added here as they are submitted and agreed to.
