Implementation Plan Schema

Overview

The Implementation Plan Schema defines the structure for organizing and tracking the implementation phases of a project. It ensures that all milestones and contributions are clearly defined and aligned with the project's goals.

    }
  }
}

Validation Rules

1. Data Integrity Rules

• Unique Identifiers: All implementation plan IDs must be globally unique
• Required Fields: All required fields must be present and non-null
• Data Types: All field values must match their defined types
• Timestamps: All timestamps must be valid ISO 8601 format

2. Business Logic Rules

• Status Transitions: Only valid status transitions are allowed
• Assignment Rules: Implementation plans can only be assigned to open proposals

Integration Points

1. Project Management System Integration

The implementation plan schema integrates with the project management system to ensure seamless coordination between project phases and contributions:

• Implementation Plan Status Synchronization: When implementation plan statuses change, the system automatically updates associated project statuses to maintain consistency across the project workflow
• Action Tracking: All implementation plan-related actions are automatically recorded in the project history, providing a complete audit trail of project phases and their implementation

Conclusion

The Implementation Plan Schema provides a comprehensive foundation for managing project phases within the DAO ecosystem. By integrating project goals, milestones, and technical requirements, this schema ensures:

• Goal Alignment: Implementation plans respect and advance project objectives
• Transparency: All implementation plan data is visible and auditable
• Scalability: Machine-readable data enables automation and growth
• Fairness: Clear rules and validation ensure equitable treatment
• Efficiency: Automated workflows reduce administrative overhead

The schema is designed to evolve with the community's needs while maintaining the core principles of decentralized project management and cultural preservation. Regular reviews and updates ensure it continues to serve the community effectively as the DAO grows and develops.
