Planning and backlog

This section organizes product direction, sprint planning, feature backlog, and adoption hardening.

• Strategic cap
  • Positioning
  • Problem statement
  • Strategic value
  • Strategic boundaries
  • Adoption sequence
  • Roadmap thesis
• Planning backlog
  • Pre-release follow-ups
  • Strategic near-term backlog
  • Medium-term candidates
  • Long-term candidates
  • Deferred backlog
  • Design constraints — do not violate
• Adoption and hardening roadmap
  • Guiding principle
  • 1. Positioning — frame the repo as a library
  • 2. API ergonomics — fight over-abstraction
  • 3. Naming convention — lock it in
  • 4. Ownership & threading — make the concurrency model explicit
  • 5. Strict lifecycle contract
  • 6. Test coverage — close the critical gap
  • 7. Differentiators — what makes lifecore_ros2 worth adopting
  • 8. README — onboarding quality
  • 9. Long-term vision
  • Sequencing
  • Related documents
• Companion examples repository
  • Purpose
  • Repository identity
  • Scope boundary — what belongs here vs. in core
  • Example categories (initial outline)
  • Later applied companion example — sensor-fusion pipeline
  • Repository structure (planned)
  • Out of scope
  • Coupling to core releases
  • Implementation phases
  • Non-goals
