Objectives (what?)

  • Define the scope of the working group

  • Develop the governance model and the structure for the working group

  • Outline the framework and process for making product decisions (for example: priotizing features, capturing opportunities from the community, etc.)

Business case (why?)

  • There is an apparent leadership/strategy gap in the Open edX ecosystem in owning and managing the product lifecycle, and owning and articulating the product vision (including what the product does/doesn’t do today, what it will do/be in the future, etc.).

  • There is no ongoing and organized effort to capture insights from the users and partners about how the platform needs to evolve and connecting that to the product vision and strategy.

  • Due to a lack of a supporting process/sufficient designated members, product reviews in PRs can be blocked for a long time, hampering the community's ability to contribute improvements. The product working group can help address this gap.

Scope (how?)

In scope:

  • Create, publish, and disseminate a charter for the product working group (WG structure, mandate, key processes, etc.)

  • Formulate and document a framework/process for making decisions

Provisionally in scope:

  • Initiative: introduce product management core contributors in order to directly include the community in the product management function

Out of scope:

  • (…)

store

Objectives (what?)

  • Compile a list of XBlocks and their current status

  • Create a marketplace for free and paid XBlocks

Business case (why?)

  • The current directory of XBlock is a static web page. An XBlock marketplance marketplace integratable directly with each instance of Open edX can help admin users buy or “download” XBlocks directly from the marketplace from within their platform.

  • The market place can help streamline the process of activating and updating the XBlock.
