Lessons learned in user-centred software development

  • Categories Webinars
  • Date March 22, 2022

The OECD-led Statistical Information System Collaboration Community (SIS-CC) and Global Network of Data Officers and Statisticians, hosted at the United Nations Statistical Division, held a webinar on Tuesday, 22 March 2022, 08:30 EST that presented the move from a classical to an agile, user-centred software development approach using the example of the open-source platform .Stat Suite.

The virtual event provided an opportunity to explore how SIS-CC product managers apply user-focused functional design principles and how the solution team manages the open-source project and maximises code sharing. The presentation uncovered the community’s journey from developing monolithic applications to componentised software architecture with a high degree of automation to optimise productivity, quality and shipping time, thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, such as GitLab and containerisation.

The recording of the webinar is available below.

Take your data management skills to the next level with the newly launched “Creating and Applying Mappings for the .Stat Suite” course.

Designed for data professionals across the SDMX community, this course provides the foundation you need to leverage mappings for seamless data integration and improved workflows.

In this course you will:

  • Understand the main scenarios for using mappings.
  • Describe how mappings are managed in SDMX.
  • Use Fusion Metadata Registry to manage SDMX mappings between two structures with different dimensionality and/or code list representation.
  • Apply mappings to data files using Fusion Metadata Registry and upload mapped data files to the .Stat Suite.
