# Adopt GovStack
The GovStack implementation framework considers incorporating a BB approach at the level of digital institutional governance, ICT policy & citizen-centric co-design & delivery of government digital services.
GovStack Implementation Framework
GovStack gathers best practices from leading digital teams across the world. Below is a suggested journey that covers the most important aspects of digitizing government services at scale:
1. It starts with understanding the country's context and needs
2. Identifying current tech stack
3. Cataloging services based on life events
4. Identifying priority services to digitize according to feasibility and impact (demand)
5. Design and delivery of citizen-centric digital services using reusable software components
6. Development of a scaling strategy that leverages the reusable technology stack
The aim of the GovStack is to facilitate digital teams around the world to build their own digital service design standard and government technology stack organically. Starting with one or two priority services that use a small set of reusable software components (BBs).
The digitization of priority services will allow digital teams to gain valuable hands-on experience in:
* Applying UX/UI guidelines, deploying containerized Building Block applications, API integration, regulatory compliance on data protection, integration testing, and more.
* Designing citizen-centric digital services
* Re-using software components/building blocks integrated into the national stack across all government services
* Tailoring of scaling strategy that leverages the national stack to digitize services rapidly, efficiently, and in a standardized fashion.
Approach to building technology stacks sustainably

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://specs.govstack.global/implementation-playbook/0.9.0/govstack-implementation-playbook/adopt-govstack.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
