Welcome to the Criminal Justice Hub Sprint Board repository! This repository serves as the central coordination point for the Criminal Justice Hub Service Design Team. Our mission is to innovate and improve the criminal justice system through thoughtful design and technology. This board is where we track our progress, plan our sprints, and manage our workflow.

The Criminal Justice Hub is a collaborative initiative aimed at creating a more efficient, transparent, and fair justice system. We work with various stakeholders, including law enforcement, legal professionals, community organisations, and technologists, to design services that address the complex challenges within the criminal justice sector.

This repository is organized to facilitate agile development practices and provide a clear overview of our ongoing work. Here's what you can expect to find:

• /sprints: This directory contains the details for current and past sprints, including sprint goals, tasks, and retrospectives.
• /projects: Here, you'll find the documentation for ongoing projects, including research, design files, and project plans.
• /resources: This folder includes resources such as design templates, coding standards, and other materials that support the team's work.
• /meeting-notes: Notes from team meetings, stand-ups, and other discussions are stored here for reference.
