A Civic Technologist's Practice Guide

Trained policymakers answer questions like these through a canonical process cycle encompassing development,[ 61] implementation, and evaluation. In many ways, the cycle is similar to the build/ measure/ learn feedback loop from Lean methodology, but more formal and with different assumptions about how and how fast changes occur. While policy development is something of a negotiation between legislative and executive branches, policy implementation and evaluation are largely the province of the executive branch, with oversight from the legislature.
