“…Although some research directions are also mentioned, they lack specificity and a clear assessment of how the scale of what has to be managed via Digital Twins affects costs: a city, even a major one, may not be able to economically sustain its full fledged Digital Twin. Concerning privacy and security, the adoption of recognized standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001 is strongly recommended, as indicated in [16], [176]. To this end, it is suggested that a more collaborative approach be taken to support security in developing effective and appropriate solutions to security challenges, including increased efforts on technologies IoT [19], to prevent attacks or minimize their effects.…”

The goal of Digital Transformation of the Public Sector is the achievement of a better quality of life for citizens, via a more responsive and transparent administration and governance. By now it is clear that technological innovation, both in terms of computer architectures and software systems, is a crucial component of it, yet not sufficient. Indeed, a cultural, organizational and legal shift in how public organizations operate and relate to the citizens is also required. Nevertheless, computer scientists can play a key role in such a transformation and, given its impact on Society, it is essential to achieve a broader level of awareness of it and involvement in it of those scientific and professional figures. To this end, a technical map specifically designed for computer scientists, but properly placed in the context of the cultural, organizational and legal changes mentioned above, would be highly beneficial. To date, such a map is missing, to the best of our knowledge. The main contribution of this Tutorial is to provide it, together with a guided tour describing which key technological aspects enable and drive such a transformation. More specifically, based on a careful analysis of the available scholarly literature, that does not seem to include any Computer Science textbook material, a model of such a transformation is proposed, together with carefully selected examples incarnating it to show its validity: the cities of Barcelona and Chicago. Finally, a look at the future of this area is also provided.

“…Such a transformation is by no means simple, since it involves regulatory and social issues [2] as well as challenges for many areas of Computer Science [3]. Synthetically, one of its key features is the involvement of the citizens in the DT [4,5] and a very relevant measure of its success is the level of responsiveness it has in addressing the changing needs of citizens [6,7]. Quite surprisingly, although DT is a widely studied interdisciplinary subject, the public sector is somewhat neglected in the scholarly literature, as pointed out in [8].…”

Scrum@PA: Tailoring an Agile Methodology to the Digital Transformation in the Public Sector

Digital transformation in the public sector provides digital services to the citizens aiming at increasing their quality of life, as well as the transparency and accountability of a public administration. Since adaptation to the citizens changing needs is central for its success, Agile methodologies seem best suited for the software development of digital services in that area. However, as well documented by an attempt to use Scrum for an important Public Administration in Italy, substantial modifications to standard Agile were needed, giving rise to a new proposal called improved Agile (in short, iAgile). Another notable example is the Scrum@IMI method developed by the City of Barcelona for the deployment of its digital services. However, given the importance of digital transformation in the public sector and the scarcity of efforts (documented in the scholarly literature) to effectively bring Agile within it, a strategically important contribution that Computer Science can offer is a general paradigm describing how to tailor Agile methodologies and, in particular, Scrum, for such a specific context. Our proposal, called Scrum@PA, addresses this strategic need. Based on it, a public administration has a technically sound avenue to follow to adopt Scrum rather than a generic set of guidelines as in the current state of the art. We show the validity of our proposal by describing how the quite successful Scrum@IMI approach can be derived from Scrum@PA. Although iAgile can also be derived from our paradigm, we have chosen Scrum@IMI as a pilot example since it is publicly available on GitHub.
