  545. <h2 class="display">Structure budgets and contracts to support delivery</h2>
  546. <p>To improve our chances of success when contracting out development work, we need to work with experienced budgeting and contracting officers. In cases where we use third parties to help build a service, a well-defined contract can facilitate good development practices like conducting a research and prototyping phase, refining product requirements as the service is built, evaluating open source alternatives, ensuring frequent delivery milestones, and allowing the flexibility to purchase cloud computing resources.</p>
  547. <p><a href="https://playbook.cio.gov/techfar/">The TechFAR Handbook</a> provides a detailed explanation of the flexibilities in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that can help agencies implement this play.</p>
  548. <h3>Checklist</h3>

  550. <li>Budget includes research, discovery, and prototyping activities</li>
  551. <li>Contract is structured to request frequent deliverables, not multi-month milestones</li>
  552. <li>Contract is structured to hold vendors accountable to deliverables</li>
  553. <li>Contract gives the government delivery team enough flexibility to adjust feature prioritization and delivery schedule as the project evolves</li>
  554. <li>Contract ensures open source solutions are evaluated when technology choices are made</li>
  555. <li>Contract specifies that software and data generated by third parties remains under our control, and can be reused and released to the public as appropriate and in accordance with the law</li>
  556. <li>Contract allows us to use tools, services, and hosting from vendors with a variety of pricing models, including fixed fees and variable models like “pay-for-what-you-use” services</li>
  557. <li>Contract specifies a warranty period where defects uncovered by the public are addressed by the vendor at no additional cost to the government</li>
  558. <li>Contract includes a transition of services period and transition-out plan</li>

This is typically a process of continuous review and improvement which should be built into the development and maintenance of the service. At the start of designing a new service or feature, the team lead should engage the appropriate privacy, security, and legal officer(s) to discuss the type of information collected, how it should be secured, how long it is kept, and how it may be used and shared. The sustained engagement of a privacy specialist helps ensure that personal data is properly managed. In addition, a key process to building a secure service is comprehensively testing and certifying the components in each layer of the technology stack for security vulnerabilities, and then to re-use these same pre-certified components for multiple services.</p>
  681. <p>The following checklist provides a starting point, but teams should work closely with their privacy specialist and security engineer to meet the needs of the specific service.</p>
  682. <h3>Checklist</h3>
  683. <ol>
  684. <li>Contact the appropriate privacy or legal officer of the department or agency to determine whether a System of Records Notice (SORN), Privacy Impact Assessment, or other review should be conducted</li>
  685. <li>Determine, in consultation with a records officer, what data is collected and why, how it is used or shared, how it is stored and secured, and how long it is kept</li>
  686. <li>Determine, in consultation with a privacy specialist, whether and how users are notified about how personal information is collected and used, including whether a privacy policy is needed and where it should appear, and how users will be notified in the event of a security breach</li>
  687. <li>Consider whether the user should be able to access, delete, or remove their information from the service</li>
  688. <li>“Pre-certify” the hosting infrastructure used for the project using FedRAMP</li>
  689. <li>Use deployment scripts to ensure configuration of production environment remains consistent and controllable</li>
  690. </ol>
  691. <h3>Key Questions</h3>
  692. <ul>
  693. <li>Does the service collect personal information from the user? How is the user notified of this collection?</li>
  694. <li>Does it collect more information than necessary? Could the data be used in ways an average user wouldn't expect?</li>
  695. <li>How does a user access, correct, delete, or remove personal information?</li>
  696. <li>Will any of the personal information stored in the system be shared with other services, people, or partners?</li>
  697. <li>How and how often is the service tested for security vulnerabilities?</li>
  698. <li>How can someone from the public report a security issue?</li>
  699. </ul>

  703. <h2 class="display">Use data to drive decisions</h2>
  704. <p>At every stage of a project, we should measure how well our service is working for our users. This includes measuring how well a system performs and how people are interacting with it in real-time. Our teams and agency leadership should carefully watch these metrics to find issues and identify which bug fixes and improvements should be prioritized. Along with monitoring tools, a feedback mechanism should be in place for people to report issues directly.</p>
  705. <h3>Checklist</h3>
  706. <ol>
  707. <li>Monitor system-level resource utilization in real time</li>
  708. <li>Monitor system performance in real-time (e.g. response time, latency, throughput, and error rates)</li>
  709. <li>Ensure monitoring can measure median, 95th percentile, and 98th percentile performance</li>
  710. <li>Create automated alerts based on this monitoring</li>
  711. <li>Track concurrent users in real-time, and monitor user behaviors in the aggregate to determine how well the service meets user needs</li>
  712. <li>Publish metrics internally</li>
  713. <li>Publish metrics externally</li>
  714. <li>Use an experimentation tool that supports multivariate testing in production</li>
  715. </ol>
  716. <h3>Key Questions</h3>
  717. <ul>
  718. <li>What are the key metrics for the service?</li>
  719. <li>How have these metrics performed over the life of the service?</li>
  720. <li>Which system monitoring tools are in place?</li>
  721. <li>What is the targeted average response time for your service? What percent of requests take more than 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds?</li>
  722. <li>What is the average response time and percentile breakdown (percent of requests taking more than 1s, 2s, 4s, and 8s) for the top 10 transactions?</li>
  723. <li>What is the volume of each of your service’s top 10 transactions? What is the percentage of transactions started vs. completed?</li>
  724. <li>What is your service’s monthly uptime target?</li>
  725. <li>What is your service’s monthly uptime percentage, including scheduled maintenance? Excluding scheduled maintenance?</li>
  726. <li>How does your team receive automated alerts when incidents occur?</li>
  727. <li>How does your team respond to incidents? What is your post-mortem process?</li>
  728. <li>Which tools are in place to measure user behavior?</li>
  729. <li>What tools or technologies are used for A/B testing?</li>
  730. <li>How do you measure customer satisfaction?</li>
  731. </ul>

  735. <h2 class="display">Default to open</h2>
  736. <p>When we collaborate in the open and publish our data publicly, we can improve Government together. By building services more openly and publishing open data, we simplify the public’s access to government services and information, allow the public to contribute easily, and enable reuse by entrepreneurs, nonprofits, other agencies, and the public.</p>
  737. <h3>Checklist</h3>
  738. <ol>
  739. <li>Offer users a mechanism to report bugs and issues, and be responsive to these reports</li>
  740. <li>Provide datasets to the public, in their entirety, through bulk downloads and APIs (application programming interfaces)</li>
  741. <li>Ensure that data from the service is explicitly in the public domain, and that rights are waived globally via an international public domain dedication, such as the “Creative Commons Zero” waiver</li>
  742. <li>Catalog data in the agency’s enterprise data inventory and add any public datasets to the agency’s public data listing</li>
  743. <li>Ensure that we maintain the rights to all data developed by third parties in a manner that is releasable and reusable at no cost to the public</li>
  744. <li>Ensure that we maintain contractual rights to all custom software developed by third parties in a manner that is publishable and reusable at no cost</li>
  745. <li>When appropriate, create an API for third parties and internal users to interact with the service directly</li>
  746. <li>When appropriate, publish source code of projects or components online</li>
  747. <li>When appropriate, share your development process and progress publicly</li>
  748. </ol>
  749. <h3>Key Questions</h3>
  750. <ul>
  751. <li>How are you collecting user feedback for bugs and issues?</li>
  752. <li>If there is an API, what capabilities does it provide? Who uses it? How is it documented?</li>
  753. <li>If the codebase has not been released under an open source license, explain why.</li>
  754. <li>What components are made available to the public as open source?</li>
  755. <li>What datasets are made available to the public?</li>
