Description
In our Roadmap process, we have a lengthy wordy description of how something goes from being an idea to being a released feature:
https://community.mautic.org/processes/roadmap
I would like it if we could describe this visually somehow.
The basic process is:
- Post your idea at https://forum.mautic.org/c/ideas
- Get feedback from the community - are people interested? How many are impacted? Is anyone willing to work on/fund the project?
- If there is sufficient interest and the work can be funded, please raise a proposal on the Roadmap project, https://community.mautic.org/processes/roadmap, including all the requested information
- The Core Team review the proposals regularly and questions are posted on the Community Portal until a decision/consensus is reached as to whether the version will be accepted in core, and if so, which version the developers must have it ready for
- The proposal is accepted, a project is created in the progress tracker, and work commences
- Progress tracker updated as work proceeds
- Documentation (end user and developer) is written and ready for merging
- PR is made in time for the proposed release, reviewed, tested and merged
- Feature is released
It'd be great if you can work on this in Canva so we can easily update it. Let us know if you need a login!
