The need for digital development comes from several sources: in the longer term from Tampere's strategy and the Mayor's Programme, in the four-year timeframe from the Digital Map and service plans, and in the day-to-day work, when city employees come up with ideas to do things even smarter.
Needs and ideas are recorded in a system called a needs portfolio as project ideas. The project ideas are examined and assessed to see if they are critical and worthy of further work.

At least three of the criteria must be met:
