Description

Who we are:

Open Government Products is an experimental tech start-up team within the government that consists mainly of engineers, designers, and product managers who build technology for public good. We proactively identify areas where technology can help, test our prototypes with actual users, and bring our best ones to launch. As an experimental team, we have redesigned our organisation to move quickly, fail fast, and scale what works to deliver the maximum public good within a larger bureaucracy. We think about how we run the organisation from first principles, keep a flat hierarchy to maximise ownership, and bypass bureaucracy to focus on delivery of good products through a good organisation. We work on real problems, build for the user, and push for change.

Projects we've worked on include:

- A mobile app alternative to parking coupons. It lets users pay, extend, and refund their parking sessions using just their phones.

FormSG - A form builder tool for agencies to self-service and create online forms that can capture classified data, with the goal of replacing paper forms.

Isomer - An easy-to-deploy static website building and hosting service to let government agencies create usable, secure, and faster informational websites quickly.

- The national COVID-19 vaccine registration and appointment system, developed to help people register for the vaccine in order of priority, and manage the supply and demand of vaccines to increase the rate at which Singapore's population was vaccinated against COVID-19.

PaySG - A platform to enable digital payments for government services, initially used for payments for COVID-19 swab tests and Stay-Home Notices for incoming travellers.

- An open repository of all the Singapore Government's public data. It helps people understand the data using visualisations and articles, and provides real-time APIs for developers to use.
