Strategy, User Testing, and Implementation (by Neil Hall): Technical strategy, validating the new design.
Design Sprints (by Dan Ramsden): ‘explore a range of ideas in a relatively short space of time’. Day 1: Understand; Day 2: Diverge; Day 3: Converge; Day 4: Prototype; Day 5: Test.

Government Digital Services Design Principles: Reference to help in the creation and evaluation process.
