About
ECCOLA is easy to applyin practice. It is a sprint-by-sprint evolving process that empowersethi- cal thinking in the product development process. As a result, ethical development is enhanced and Work Product Sheets (WPS) are created. The WPSs help you measure the Trustworthiness of the product. ECCOLAis an evolving set of cards and you choose the parts that are relevant to your work.
How to: ECCOLA is intended to be used during the entire design and development process in three steps:
- Prepare - Choose the relevant cards for the current sprint. Docu- ment selected cards and justification on WPS.
- Review - Keep the selected cards on hand during single tasks. Write down if any actions are taken based on the cards
- Evaluate — Review to ensure that all planned actions are taken. Revise the card deck, and if necessary, review tasks again.
Practical Tip: Repeat the process in every iteration. Remember to do a retrospective afterwards. Think about what worked & what did not. Choose the parts that are the most relevant for your workin the next round.
