The Digital & Data team (D&D) creates, enhances, and maintains the digital tools comprising the Performance and Results Management System (PRMS). With experience in numerous CGIAR reporting processes, D&D’s team of developers, designers, and software product managers follow a three-step process to create user-friendly and fit-for-purpose digital tools:

• Discovery: understanding user needs and crafting an optimal user experience to produce a comprehensive list of requirements or user stories and mockups.

• Delivery: technical development and delivery of the digital product for testing and production. 

• Experience: providing technical support to users to address issues in a timely manner and consider where future improvements may be made.
