Summary

This wiki is meant to capture the expanded sequence of work for the 2011 Sync Client Roadmap. It will also serve as a way to see what is in progress or available.

Definitions

• Road map: A product theme or set of themes, broken down into units of work that are shippable. Product progress is tracked against the road map.
• Road map item: a single item that be delivered independently. It can have dependencies. The work is significant enough to warrant several days (3+ days) or weeks. Due to rapid release train model, may want to keep roadmap items to a max of a few weeks of work (< 6weeks).
• Feature: one or more road map items that have a user experience impact, most commonly they are user visible. For more information on what a feature is go here.
• Project: like a feature, but not user-facing. (Jen says, "perhaps call this type of work "Enhancement")
• Work item: a task within a road map item
• Feature page: is where a feature is defined, spec'ed, staffed, and tracked. Each feature or project should have a feature page associated with it.
