Abstract

This paper presents enablers for the digital transformation of public services, used to support an agile method called Pro-Digital.Gov, designed to help public organizations [re]build digital services in alignment with the Government 4.0 model. The methodology involved a systematic mapping of academic and gray literature to identify the enablers, followed by a case study applying the proposed method, with a qualitative evaluation of the results. The key distinction of this work lies in its integrated approach to the technological, human (both soft and hard skills), and organizational dimensions for digital transformation of citizen-centered public services. Pro-Digital.Gov was applied in the development of a web application to support the vaccination program of a Brazilian city, receiving positive feedback from project stakeholders regarding the method’s utility, agility, and efficiency, as well as its ability to encourage citizen participation and engagement in the development of the digital service.
