Colorado Digital Service (CDS)
Formed in 2019, CDS is a diverse, cross-functional team of senior engineers, human-centered design specialists, product managers and procurement and contracting specialists within the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT).
Our mission is to help to mature state agencies’ approach to delivering high quality products and services to all of Colorado by focusing on people, process and technology.
How We Work
We practice modern software delivery practices, including human-centered design, agile iterative development, DevSecOps and modular active procurement and contract management. We believe these methods allow us to focus on outcomes over optics and orient on finding answers to problems rather than jumping to solutions.
We begin by putting people at the heart of what we do - from how we work with our community members and with each other. We like to take a step back and consider multiple options on how our solutions can meet human-centered needs.
We do not own projects, but we happily partner on them, and want to ensure our partners are set up for success beyond our engagement.
