This section lists potential features for Wikijump, and triages them based on strict priority. It then explains what resources will be required to implement them, and any notes about modifications to enhance overall productivity.
The project will also be initially separated into “stages”, each given a letter of the alphabet, given labels such as stage-a, stage-b, etc. While the priority assessments will initially line up with the priority assessments given below, after Stage A, this will begin to shift. Each stage will encapsulate a group of changes which are the triaged as important during that period. Especially as we get to Priority C and D items, they will be split into more refined levels as needed.
Each priority assessment gives a value to describe the triage ordering for project tasks:
A / Core feature – Required for even the most minimal workable implementation of Wikijump. Such items must be reduced to the greatest extent possible.
B / Main feature – Not strictly required, but an important feature to be implemented when feasible. This assessment includes items which are stubbed for core work and implemented later.
C / Delayed feature – Features which will are entirely delayed until the platform is more stable and complete.
D / Stretch feature – Features which are “nice to haves”, and may never be implemented if time pressures are not eventually relieved.
