Below is are the projects objectives by time first and then by theme.

By time

Horizon 1

Approx. next month

See progress by reviewing priority tickets for the current milestone (2019-Q3) and/or todo list on the main project board.

Dev goals

From priority tickets within the current milestone (2019-Q3 +priority)

  • Complete discovery and scoping for summer sprints
  • Creation of summer sprint tickets that focus on post approval workflows (project approval forms, contracting, payment requests, and regular project reporting)
  • Deploy API access for both users and projects
  • Deploy ability for staff to apply labels to submissions (meta)
  • Deploy first set of automation functions
  • Performance and bug fixes always

From non-priority tickets in the current milestone (2019-Q3 -priority)

  • Harmonize the viability definitions and implement the same options for comments, reviews, and submissions
  • Introduce an optional survey for applicants to complete post final-determination
  • Allow users the ability to see and set their notification preferences in their profile
  • Expose useful meta-data (avg amount approved, type of project, etc) from the API on internal and external pages (ie round and fund pages)
  • Improve the listing of projects, fellows, and other results on the public facing pages
  • Begin offering the ability to associate a Signal number to receive and respond to notifications
  • Ability for users to submit bug or feature requests from within the app or on error pages

Discussions

  • What could the API/metadata inform us about current and future programming?
  • What can we infer and what can we deduct from information we have at hand? Do we have complete picture and what are the gaps?

Horizon 2

Approx. next 3 months

Dev goals

Items from the current milestone (2019-Q3) not included above or from the approaching milestone (2019-Q4).

[todo, need to move items from above down here as is right and go through later milestone and creating high-level summaries]

  • Introduce and test post approval features such as PAF, invoice, monthly report, creation/management
  • Review and refine as needed the current responsible data policy
  • Conduct a responsible data audit
  • Change the repo name to an standalone project/app name and release a website highlighting the app itself
  • Create a security information page outlining the security/privacy features of the app along with our ongoing guidelines for future features

Discussions

  • What are tangible outcomes from having better access to submission information? What materials do we need to meet objectives? Do we have sufficient capacity to implement activities?
  • What further internal or external UX/UI exploratory sessions should we conduct and how best to share feedback with team, applicants, and the public?
  • What additional information and communication do applicants need (ie guidance, messages/comms) and how do we improve our ongoing feedback loop with them?

Horizon 3

Approx. next 6 months

Dev goals

Items not above from the next two or three milestones.

[todo, still need to go through these milestones to create high-level summaries like above]

Discussions

  • Should we import all the manually created PAF's into the app for a PAF central database?
  • What additional tools or resources do for applicants to navigate various funds, see #697?
    • Training and how-to materials for external stakeholders

Horizon 4

Approx. next 12 months

Dev goals

Items not above from the next three or four milestones.

[todo, still need to go through these milestones to create high-level summaries like above]

Discussions

  • What are our goals one year from now?
