ORCID is committed to being open and transparent. This means our product roadmap is available for anyone to view, as is the work currently in development.
The Product Roadmap is central to the ORCID product development process. Requirements travel from team-managed trello boards, through the Product Roadmap trello board and onwards to the Current Development trello board, where they are implemented and moved to our production systems.
This board contains well-defined requirements that are scheduled for implementation at some point, and a list of prioritised requirements scheduled for implementation in the near term.
Where do requirements come from?
Requirements are gathered from many sources by ORCID staff. They may originate from member requests, consortium feedback, user testing, strategic projects and bug reports amongst others. In addition, all ORCID teams generate their own internal requirements, such as website changes, infrastructure upgrades and operational systems updates. Each card is tagged with the team that produced the requirement – comms, strategy, tech, engagement or operations.
How do things on the roadmap?
ORCID aims for a balanced product development cycle and has regular cross-team meetings to discuss near and long term priorities. We try our best to address bugs, new features, technical debt, website updates and strategic items equally.
How can I contribute to the roadmap?
We welcome suggestions on how to improve the ORCID registry. Please send any feedback to our team.
In addition, ORCID is an open-source project and we welcome contributions to our source code as well as all our repositories.
