NeuRIS: The roadmap for the MVP is set, product development begins
In our joint project with the Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ) and the Federal Office of Justice (BfJ), the development of a new legal information system (NeuRIS for short), we have successfully completed the first stage of the project and started developing a minimum viable product (MVP). Our approach: interdisciplinary, user-centered and iterative.
In the blog post on April 20, we gave an overview of the motivation behind the project – the BMJ's mandate to provide the general public with legal information from the federal government in a standardized, modern and user-friendly legal information portal as part of the federal government's open data strategy and to enable the subsequent use of the data for future-oriented applications by means of a programming interface. The prerequisite for this is the creation of a federal data storage and recording environment that enables the federal documentation offices to document the legal information, enter it into the database and access it.
We have set ourselves the specific goal of going live with the documentation environment with the central part of the data management in at least one documentation center within twelve months of the start of development of the legal information system in June of this year. In doing so, we are living up to our claim of creating product statuses in rapid iterations that achieve an early benefit. Interaction with future users is a central element of our work.
