How Testbed Xn works
TXN works in three steps. A partner describes a challenge as a use case. A working group carries it out as a project. The results are packaged in an adoption package, so that others can reuse them. This separation lets partners contribute where they add most value: property owners and domain experts describe problems and expected outcomes, while technical teams and researchers lead implementation and validation. The aim is to move quickly from idea to evidence.
Conceptual layer
The conceptual layer captures strategic planning and high-level design.
- Capabilities – what TXN can offer
- Use cases – the partner challenges to address
Operational layer
The operational layer translates conceptual planning into actionable, managed work.
- Project charter – establishes the project: what it will do, who takes part and when
- Project plan – how the project will be carried out
- Work breakdown – the work structured into work packages and activities
Adoption layer
The adoption layer packages the results so that others can reuse them.
An adoption package consists of four components:
- Solution brief – for decision-makers
- Technical deployment guide – for implementers
- Organisational change companion – for technical and organisational projects
- Evidence pack – for credibility and learning
Each project selects the components that fit its results.
