High Level Scope
Each of the items below represents a high-level scope item. These are intended to frame the release and focus our efforts on elaborating requirements that fall into scope, and postponing work on requirements that fall outside the scope. Once requirements are complete, the set of agreed upon requirements will be posted.
Example focus areas include:
- Integration with other Sakai Tools
- User Interface focused on (student-centric) workflows
- Deeper integration of the Goal Management tools with OSP
- A well-populated community library
Requirements
Specific requirements are written up in JIRA and summarized in the Proposed OSP 2.5 Requirements page (currently under review).
Design
An initial plan is to work on a redesign of the OSP tools during the 2.5 development process so that the plan will be ready to implement by the 2.6 development cycle
Testing
More attention needs to be paid to this and will be the focus of more conversation in Amsterdam
