What we do

CivicActions helps government agencies better serve the public through large-scale modernization projects that impact the lives of millions of people. Open source technologies (such as Drupal) and human-centered design are at the core of our work.

We partner with agencies to solve complex problems and improve the delivery of critical services like Veteran benefits, health care for retirees, adult education, and national scientific research. 

We are known for our Drupal expertise, our open and agile practices, and our commitment to building products that put people first.

How we do it

At CivicActions, we believe that our approach to work is just as important as our technical and design expertise. We conquer big projects one piece at a time, collaborating with our clients throughout the process to ensure that every issue is solved and every deliverable met. And we always start by understanding the problems and talking to users so that our solutions meet real human needs.

Our project managers and tech leads are Scrum Certified and follow the Agile process. We use video conferencing, weekly budget reports, client status meeting updates, online tools and risk assessment to ensure our projects stay on-track and on-budget.

No matter the challenge, we maintain honest communication and build positive relationships with our clients and colleagues. And we follow the principles of the U.S. Digital Services Playbook to make sure our work aligns with current standards for government technology modernization. 

Our team and culture

People say there’s “something magical” about working with the people of CivicActions. That’s because we practice authentic communication, smart problem solving, and a dedication to balance in our personal and professional lives.

CivicActions is a fully distributed team across the United States and Canada. We are always working to improve our processes and build human connection. We are people first, striving to make the world better through our work, but also creating an environment that allows us to care for ourselves and each other.

Many of our team members are leaders in the free and open source software communities, because we believe community is fundamental to sustainable civic technology development. We share our insights and build on the work of others, adhering to a “fiercely open” mentality that allows the most innovative ideas to shape our work.
