Milestone 1: User stories and problem definition

• Deliverables: A list of clearly articulated user stories (not prioritized) that appropriately reflect the problem(s) the modular learning initiative will solve.

Sub-milestones:

• Draft user stories
• Map user stories, v1
• Solicit stakeholder feedback (target 6-8 superusers/clients) [In-progress, target Oct 15 for completion]
• Integrate feedback
• Finalize user stories

Milestone 2: User story mapping and prioritization [partially already complete in Milestone 1]

• Deliverables: A clearly articulated opinion on which user stories will be prioritized to guide subsequent milestones.

• Define prioritization criteria (both product and tech perspective)
• Identify subset of user stories to prioritize
• Tweak user story map to reflect priority, v2

Milestone 3: Approach speccing

• Deliverables: An approach document that articulates possible approaches and solutions.

• Write proposed Approach Spec
• Write MVP Tech Spec (based on prioritized user stories)
• Create “Consumer Review 2.0” = Open all documentation for community review and input

Milestone 4: Wire Framing and user journey definition

• Deliverables: Mock wire frames or design prototypes that outline the user journey based on the approach documentation.

• Design low-fi UX frames [IN PROGRESS]
• Light touch user feedback/usability testing

Milestone 5: Tech/arch Prototype

• Deliverables: Low-fi tech prototype that can 1) serve as a proof of concept and 2) guide effort estimates for broader implementation

• Tech spec
• MVP Milestone planning [IN PROGRESS]

Milestone 6: Product Requirement Documentation*

• Deliverable: Product Requirement Documentation that includes Overview of the initiative

  • Articulation of the problem(s) and the opportunity

  • Market evidence + user stories

  • Approach and solution

  • Wire frames

  • Any risks and dependencies

• Final PRD

*As the scope of this project evolved, PRD will be focused on Phase 1 and Phase 2, which future PRD work to follow incrementally.
