In 2015, the DSpace Steering Group established an ad hoc "DSpace RoadMap Working Group" (made up of members of Steering, Committers, and DCAT) to develop a 3-5 year Strategic Plan for Technology along with a shorter term (1-2 year) Technology Technical Roadmap detailing how we can immediately improve the software towards achieving our Strategic Plan. Early drafts of these documents will be presented at the OR2015 conference.

Deliverables
- 3 year Strategic Plan for DSpace
- 1-2 year Technical Roadmap for DSpace
Other
- Use Cases : Continuing from the 2014 work, the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) hosted further meetings to gather community Use Cases and began prioritization of these use cases.
- Use Case Analysis : Analysis and prioritization of the gathered Use Cases.
- DSpace 2015-18 Strategic Plan - Technology (in process): Based on the 2013 Vision Document and the 2014 Product Plan work, a formal (3-5 year) Strategic Plan for the DSpace platform technology will be developed for discussion at OR15. This Strategic Plan for Technology will lay out action items we will take to achieve the goals laid out in these two founding documents

- Technical Roadmap (coming soon): Based on the actions and goals laid out in the Strategic Plan, a short term (1-2 year) Technical Roadmap will be developed for discussion at OR15. This Technical Roadmap will detail specific, high-priority implementation projects (i.e. code/UI improvements) which will help the DSpace platform to move in the direction laid out by the Strategic Plan.

- Overarching goals:
- We are NOT aiming for a from scratch rewrite. As we have a very active developer community on that existing codebase, and a from scratch rewrite would require major funding for such a large, well established platform.
- We are aiming at a substantial leap in improving the user experience and the web user interface.
