What is the Open edX Product Roadmap?#
The Open edX Product Roadmap is the way in which the Open edX community comes together to collaboratively develop and advance the Open edX platform.
What are the goals of the Roadmap?#
The goals of the Roadmap are as follows:
To comprehensively document all current, planned work in-flight across the Open edX ecosystem.
To track and prioritize proposed work that is not yet in-flight.
Why do we need a Roadmap?#
Ideally, a comprehensive, up-to-date Roadmap would answer questions such as:
What product use cases (and subsequent areas of the platform) have been collectively prioritized for investment by the community?
What features or updates can we expect in the upcoming Named Release?
We would like to invest in Enhancement X. Is anyone else investing there?
Has work on Issue Y been completed?
What was the scope and approach taken to Issue Z?
We would like to see work on Idea Z but cannot take it on now (or alone). Are there partnership opportunities available to advance it?
How Do I Read the Roadmap?#
The Roadmap is a Kanban-style board, organized into 7 main status categories nested within swimlanes.
See the How to Read the Product Roadmap how-to guide for more information.
Who maintains and updates the Roadmap?#
The Roadmap is stewarded by Axim Collaborative and the Product Working Group. The Product Working Group is an Open edX Working Group that is open for anyone in the community to join. We meet biweekly and we’d love to see you at an upcoming meeting! Find the latest meeting time on the Open edX Meeting Calendar.
What is the current status of the Roadmap?#
The Roadmap is an iterative work-in-progress. The goal of the roadmap is to ensure all in-flight work across the ecosystem is represented on the Roadmap. This includes contributions from Axim, 2U/edX, and all contributing Providers.
Can I add my organization’s contributions to the Roadmap?#
Yes! We need your participation in order to make the Roadmap a successful and meaningful artifact. Please follow the Product Review Process to submit your product proposal - whether it’s a rough idea or an initiative your team is planning to complete - to the roadmap.
