The document provides an overview of Linaro's roadmap and quarterly cycle process. It discusses how requirements are gathered and placed on the roadmap, which spans 2+ years. Requirements enter the planning phase and are represented as cards on a Kanban board. Cards then progress through the implementation phase at the Connect event and subsequent quarter before being delivered or moved to the backlog. Tracking of cards is done through status websites.
