High Level Vision
Every three (3?) years, the DSpace Steering Group will revisit and refresh the High Level Vision for DSpace as a product.
Participants:
- DSpace Steering Group (lead)
- An ad-hoc "Vision Group", whose role is to help refresh the Vision. This group would be made up of members of the Product Planning Group, DCAT and the Technology Advisory Group.
Community Survey / Use Cases
Every three (3?) years, after the High Level Vision is refreshed, a new Community Survey will be performed to help validate the Vision and ensure it is in line with the needs of the Community. In conjunction with the survey, DSpace Use Cases will be refreshed based on the survey results/feedback.

Product Plan
On a yearly basis, the DSpace 2014 Product Plan will be updated. This is a high-level Plan based on both the most recent Product Vision, and based on the latest Survey and gathered Use Cases. This Product Plan will be approved by the Steering Group.

On a yearly basis, based on the Product Plan and recommended Implementation Options, a Technical Roadmap will be created by the Committers team. This Roadmap will correspond to scheduling which major features should be in each major release of the software platform.
NOTE: The Technical Roadmap will also include features / improvements which are contributed by the community. So, it is a combination of known community contributions and planned development (based on the Product Plan).
Participants:
- Committers Team (lead)
- Support/Feedback from Technology Advisory Group, Product Planning Group and DCAT
