Part of the aim for DP-Next, and the purpose of Work Package 1, is to produce scientific results that follow open scientific and reproducible practices. In addition to this aim, Work Package 1 also aims to help produce better research in less time and fewer resources. Aligning with these overall aims and expanding on the guiding principles in the Strategy page, we want to eventually follow these principles:

• Incorporate explicit feedback loops in how we collaborate.
• Actively and continually seek out and identify ways we can improve how we work.
• Start with what we can do now and improve iteratively and incrementally.
• Make work visible (at least to the group), including tasks to do, and project management.
• Incorporate regular upskilling activities, such as “pair-working”.
• Prefer written communication over verbal communication to ensure more people can participate.
• Use open source software as much as possible and is reasonable.
• Have meetings sparingly and only when extensive, concurrent discussions and brainstorming are needed.
