## Development Roadmap :nut_and_bolt:

This section should break out the development roadmap into a number of milestones and related deliverables.
Since the milestones will appear in the grant contract, it helps to describe the functionality we should expect, plus how we can check that such functionality exists.

Below we provide an **example roadmap**.

For each milestone:
* Please be sure to include a specification of the software. The level of detail must be enough so that we are able to verify that the software meets the specification.
* Please include total amount of funding requested per milestone.
* Please note that we require documentation (e.g. tutorials, API specifications, architecture details) in each milestone. This ensures that the code can be widely used by the community.
* Please provide a test suite, comprising unit and integration tests, along with a guide on how to run these.
* Please indicate the milestone duration, as well as number of Full-Time Employees working on each milestone, and include the number of days along with their cost per day.
* Milestones should be structured to ensure smooth progress tracking and clear accountability, without adding unnecessary complexity for evaluators or grantees. It’s important to have enough checkpoints for oversight while keeping the administrative workload on grantees and evaluators low.

### Overview
* **Total Estimated Duration:** Duration of the whole project
* **Full-time equivalent (FTE):** Workload of an employed person ([see](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-time_equivalent))
* **Total Costs:** Amount of Payment for the whole project.

### Milestone 1 Example Application V1
* **Estimated Duration:** 1 month
* **FTE:** 1
* **Costs:** $5,000
* **Estimated delivery date**: Feb 21st 2022

#### Deliverables and Specifications

##### 0b. Documentation

We will provide both inline documentation of the code and a basic tutorial that explains how a user can (for example) spin up the application. Application is up, it will be possible to send test transactions that will show how the new functionality works.

##### 0c. Testing Guide

The code will have proper unit-test coverage (e.g. 90%) to ensure functionality and robustness. In the guide we will describe how to run these tests.

##### 1. Functionality: X

We will write a piece of code that will... (Please list the functionality that will be coded for the first milestone)

##### 2. Functionality: Y

We will write a piece of code that will... (Please list the functionality that will be coded for the first milestone)

##### 3. Functionality: Z

We will write a piece of code that will... (Please list the functionality that will be coded for the first milestone)

##### 4. Application
Components X, Y & Z will interact in such a way... (Please describe the deliverable here as detailed as possible)

### Milestone 2 Example Application V2
...

*Note: We generally expect any grant to be concluded with a written publication such as a blogpost.*
