ArcLight MVP

Jun 16, 2017

Overview

The ArcLight MVP work cycle is a focused, eight week effort (April 10-June 2, 2017) to prototype some of the features and designs identified during the  ArcLight Design Process. Like the design process, the MVP work cycle is a community-based project. Stanford’s overall goal is to build a compelling minimum viable product informing future work on future versions of ArcLight and as an early prototype for a Stanford-focused environment to support discovery of archival materials. Michigan’s overall goal is to develop a successor to their current DLXS-based platform for finding aids. For broader context, please review the work cycle's inception deck.

Timeline and Milestones

The three major milestones identified for this work cycle so far are:

  • April 7: Stanford kickoff meeting

  • April 10: Start of first sprint

  • June 2: End date of eighth and final sprint
