Collaborative and user-centered: de­vel­op­ing the service standard further

Whether it's registering your place of residence, filing a tax return or applying for parental allowance - the public and businesses alike expect good digital services. In order to successfully develop such services, comprehensive quality standards are essential. Back in 2020, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI) defined quality criteria for good digital services with the service standard. However, these have been applied too rarely to date - which is one of the reasons why it is now being further developed.

The BMI and DigitalService have been working on “Service Standard 2.0” since summer 2024. The aim is to improve the service standard for users and adapt it to European standards. We present important findings that we have gained since the start of the project in this blog post.

The full blog post is currently available in German only.
