Talk:SDLC v1

Regarding the split of budget weeks for each SDLC, the current split does not take into account feature collection and prioritization by TSC. I suggest to take it into account in the life cycle. Besides, I suggest to make feature hardening and documentation stay in parallel.

My proposal below:

• Call for features and prioritization: 4 weeks
  • Explicit Call for features and use cases:
    • Weeks 1-3
    • Input from EUAG and the community to TSC
  • Feature prioritization and identification of module requirements:
    • Week 4
    • Prioritization by TSC
    • Identification of module requirements per feature by TSC and MDL
• Feature development: 16 weeks
  • Design artifacts/blueprints in markdown, as part of the git repo:
    • By MDG Leads and Committers
    • Weeks 5-7
  • Acceptance Criteria and Tests (first draft)
    • Weeks 5-7
  • Coding:
    • From week 8 or sooner depending on blueprints availability, up to week 20.
• Feature hardening and documentation: 5 weeks
  • Feature hardening: Weeks 21-25
  • Documentation: Weeks 21-25

For release 1, the call for features can start now, without the need to have release 0 ready.
