My long lasting wish is to have a roadmap communicating features that we plan to deliver in upcoming releases.
In the past we’ve tried to do so through stand alone document, that has big issue of maintainability, as it puts either pressure on one person responsible for it to keep track of everything and update it (that’s very hard and near to impossible) or put the responsibility to everyone to maintain this document, what would be fine, but there would have to be a process, that everyone need to follow, but that is hard to establish.
I think that easiest solution to this would be if everyone who plans to work on a feature (has clear idea what the feature would look like and plans to work on it) would create a redmine tracker and assign it either to the next release, or some special redmine version tracker (‘future release’).
We then can have this query and similar for plugins as roadmap, that can even be automatically published (maybe on theforeman.org).
This would be much easier for each developer, but it would give us quite nice roadmap and maybe even possibility to vote for features, join efforts on them and so on.
Do you see it as something:
- managable for all of us to do?
- valuable for the project to have?
Do you have any suggestions how to make it possible, easier, or better?
