In fall 2010, the Website Planning Team approved the following preliminary list of strategic goals and related requirements for a proposed Evergreen community website, based on input from team members and community members on the EG general mailing list. Strategic goals are high-level objectives and requirements are specific tactical objectives to help achieve those objectives. These goals and requirements will inform the specific user stories that we'll use when planning site specifics. Please submit any suggested additions or modifications to this page to the general mailing list.
Please review this draft set of strategic objectives and requirements (draft two) and provide any suggestions or comments to the general mailing list. We are also seeking your feedback on the user roles we have developed.
Content used for discussion prior to the requirements approved above included the following:
For each strategic goal identified, one or more related requirements can be established. For example:
Strategic goal: Encourage organic growth of the EG ecosystem.
Related requirement: Provide a community platform to foster relationships between existing EG users, libraries, and administrators.
