Our roadmap is designed around Milestones with quarterly goals in mind, setting realistic timeframes for meaningful progress. However, some tasks may extend into subsequent quarters as needed. To stay adaptable, priorities can shift, items may be postponed indefinitely, and new tasks might be introduced as opportunities arise. This flexibility ensures that we remain focused on delivering value, all while acknowledging that Couchers is powered entirely by the dedication of passionate volunteers working in their free time.
We currently build around a quarter-based system of strategic Milestones. We divide the year into calendar quarters, Q1 (Jan to Mar) to Q4 (Oct to Dec) and choose a strategy and development focus that we call a Milestone for each quarter. This helps the various teams at Couchers to rally behind a common goal and have clarity on what they should be working on together. Each strategic milestone is brainstormed and chosen by the Board of Directors along with the core volunteer team using input from the community.
Explore the latest updates and detailed information on our ongoing projects by visiting our project board views for Development and Operations on Github which we update regularly. Note that some of the information there may be highly technical in nature and not be accessible to all audiences; and dates or timelines listed there are by no means guaranteed and are only an indication.
