Carbon has an annual roadmap to align and focus the work of the teams and
|
|
community. Teams will need to defer work on Carbon that may be good and make
|
|
sense but doesn't align with the current focus and plan of the project.
|
|
|
|
The core team will draft proposed roadmaps each year, going through the standard
|
|
proposal review process. Objectives and key results will be based on
|
|
[goals](goals.md), [success criteria](principles/success_criteria.md), and
|
|
tactical features.
|
|
|
|
It is expected that the core team will provide a draft decision and enter
|
|
decision review first thing at the beginning of the year, concluding in an
|
|
accepted plan of record for the overarching direction of the project for that
|
|
year. Subteams may optionally follow a similar practice as needed for their area
|
|
of Carbon.
|
|
|
|
This roadmap is not strictly binding and does not need to cover everything that
|
|
will happen. However, it can and should be used by teams to defer some proposals
|
|
as needed to focus on proposals aligned with the current roadmap.
|
|
|
|
The roadmap is also subject to change, just as any other document, with a fresh
|
|
proposal. The core team should critically evaluate the direction and any new
|
|
information on a quarterly basis during the initial phase of the project and
|
|
adjust the roadmap as needed to stay focused on the most important things.
