The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to share the ArchivesSpace Technology and Development Roadmap with the community. This roadmap is a planning and communication tool to help the community know what to expect in terms of future development work and aid in planning for upcoming application releases and application upgrades.
The current version of the roadmap is available in Google Sheets. A downloadable Excel file is also attached to this page; please feel free to download it to your computer. A narrative (PDF; download it to your computer if you are having trouble loading it in your browser) that accompanied the January 2017 version of the roadmap provides some context and backgroundWe're making the roadmap available as a series of views targeted at the needs of different kinds of ArchivesSpace stakeholders.
- An All Details view that presents our four categories of development and detailed information on where each development item is in the process, any associated JIRA tickets, who is responsible for it, and when it is targeted for release. This view also highlights items for which we are particularly interested in having community developer contributions. This will be the view for those who are really immersed in an institution’s ArchivesSpace planning or who are looking to get involved in the activities of development, as well as people following a particular feature through the development process.
- An Annual Overview view that provides some detail about development in each category for each release during the year and its relative impact. This may be most appropriate for a department head or systems person who needs to know the end result of ArchivesSpace development throughout the year, but could be useful for anyone who want to have a sense of the releases that are going to be most important to implement, but not all the information leading up to them.
- An Impact of Enhancements view that gives a sense of the relative impact of each release during the year and the type of focus in each. This may be most appropriate for a high level administrator who just wants to see that and how ArchivesSpace is progressing.
- Release-specific views that list what’s included in a specific release. These will be appropriate for anyone looking for a snapshot of what was or will be in each release.
The complete record for core code development is in JIRA. This includes all completed development work (including all the work that was previously represented in Pivotal Tracker and migrated to JIRA in January 2015), current development work, work prioritized to be addressed in the near future, and work not yet prioritized.
Starting in 2016, development Development work conducted by the ArchivesSpace Program Team and contractors is prioritized by the Development Prioritization subteam in collaboration with ArchivesSpace Program Team members. The Development Prioritization subteam is composed of members of the ArchivesSpace User and Technical Advisory Councils.
