Roadmap FAQs

Where is the Open edX Roadmap?

What are the goals of the Roadmap?

The goals of the Roadmap are threefold:

  1. To comprehensively document all current, planned work in-flight across the Open edX ecosystem.

  2. To provide insight into early stage projects that may not be planned but are in the pipeline and may impact the Open edX ecosystem in significant ways.

  3. To provide a framework for documenting and prioritizing ideas for future development and investment.

Why do we need a Roadmap?

Ideally, a comprehensive, up-to-date Roadmap would answer questions such as:

  • What product use cases (and subsequent areas of the platform) have been collectively prioritized for investment by the community?

  • What features or updates can we expect in the Nutmeg Release?

  • We would like to invest in Enhancement X. Is anyone else investing there?

  • Has work on Issue Y been completed?

  • What was the scope and approach taken to Issue Z?

  • We would like to see work on Idea Z but cannot take it on now (or alone). Are there partnership opportunities available to advance it?

What is the current status of the Roadmap?

The Roadmap is an iterative work-in-progress. The first Milestone for the Roadmap is underway. The goal for the first Milestone is to ensure all in-flight work across the ecosystem is represented on the Roadmap. This includes contributions from Axim, 2U/edX, and all contributing Providers.
