Let’s keep this G rated - redevelopment of classification.gov.au on GovCMS

Most people are familiar with classification ratings for movies such as G, PG, MA etc., classifications that also apply to publications and games. Classification.gov.au is a resource for the public and industry to understand the classification process and search for classification ratings. Salsa Digital and the Department of Communications and the Arts (DoCA) re-developed classification.gov.au on GovCMS SaaS. The project adopted the DTA design system and also the DTA service design and delivery process, in particular, user research and testing prior to build.

In this session, Salsa Digital’s Paul Morriss and DoCA's Catherine Driessen will discuss the methodology used to deliver the project, the application of the DTA design system, the alignment to the DTA delivery process and lessons learnt. The boundaries of GovCMS SaaS were pushed when the project integrated with the National Classification Database via an API - this challenge, and the project’s solution, will also be presented. So while the session is on the Project Management track, it should also interest user experience and technical audiences.
