AtlasOA Product Roadmap
Building the outcomes assessment platform that institutions actually need. Here is the 2025-2026 build sequence and the future enhancements currently under review.
Q4 2025: Foundation and Proof of Concept
- Pre-built sample datasets (Security+, Automotive, Community College multi-program)
- One-click demo loader on login page
- CSV upload interface for your own data (without integration)
- 7-day demo session timeout
- "Convert to Free Trial" button to start real account
Why: Removes the "prove it works with my data type" objection. Prospects can evaluate immediately.
- Week 1: Frame it right (email template from department chair)
- Week 2: Do one outcome together
- Week 3: Closing the loop (the turning point)
- Week 4: Celebrate the win (show improvement)
- Common objections and responses included
Why: Addresses faculty buy-in problem directly. Most assessment failures are adoption failures, not tool failures.
- 3 course-level outcomes, 20 dummy students
- End-to-end assessment workflow: define outcomes, assess, aggregate, close the loop
- Document findings, curriculum change, and verification plan
- Published as case study for marketing
Why: Proof that assessment drives actual curriculum improvement. Other vendors don't have this.
- No proprietary format. Standard CSV that any institution can populate.
- Import without Jenzabar or LMS integration.
- Available at atlasoa.com/resources/csv-templates
- atlasoa.com/demo (Try Now button, sample data loader)
- atlasoa.com/learn/case-studies (pilot results)
- atlasoa.com/resources/csv-templates (downloadable)
- ROI calculator (interactive tool showing time saved)
Q1 2026: Core Features and Multi-Department Support
- Create new frameworks manually or via CSV
- Map outcomes to competencies (introduces, develops, demonstrates)
- Report: "Students in [program] demonstrated X% of [competency framework]"
- Works for IT, automotive, construction, racing, nursing, business, etc.
Why: Solves multi-department problem. Technical colleges teach toward specific certifications (CompTIA, ASE, NIMS, etc.). This makes that alignment explicit and measurable.
- Accreditor-specific templates (HLC, SACSCOC, MSCHE, NWCCU, WSCUC, ACCJC)
- Pulls outcome statements, rubric descriptions, aggregated data, and closing-the-loop records
- Export as DOCX, HTML (print to PDF), or plain text
- No manual editing required (or minimal)
Why: Faculty spend hours writing narratives. The data is already there. Generate it automatically.
- Year-over-year charts and comparison tables
- System reminds: "You said you'd measure this outcome in Fall 2026. Did you?"
- Verification workflow documents actual impact
Why: Closes the loop on closing the loop. Institutions document not just activity, but impact.
- No manual export/import from Jenzabar
- Automatic student roster and grade sync
- Convert letter grades to rubric scores (configurable)
- Read-only (does not write back to Jenzabar)
Why: This is a MAJOR differentiator. No other vendor offers direct Jenzabar integration. Huge for technical colleges.
Q2 2026: Advanced Features and Strategic Advantage
- Set thresholds per outcome (e.g., "scores below 60% = flag")
- Real-time alerts to success coach, instructor, optional student email
- At-risk dashboard for tracking and logging actions
- Re-assessment shows improvement tracking
Why: Shifts assessment from "annual retrospective" to "continuous predictive." Catches at-risk students while they are still in the course, not after grades are posted.
- HLC Criterion 4.B workflows
- SACSCOC Standard 8.2 evidence packages
- MSCHE Standard V templates
- NWCCU, WSCUC, ACCJC support
- Export as complete ZIP or individual PDF/DOCX
Why: Accreditation visits require evidence. AtlasOA generates complete, ready-to-submit packages.
- ABET outcome-to-criterion mapping and rubric scoring
- AACSB assurance-of-learning workflows
- CAEP education prep outcome templates
- Nursing-specific outcome and reporting templates
Why: Some institutions have specialized accreditors alongside regional accreditors.
- Reusable evaluation templates and per-term campaigns
- Anonymous single-use response links, one per student per course
- Per-course and per-instructor results with DOCX and text export
- Five-response suppression threshold so individual respondents cannot be identified
Why: Student feedback is assessment evidence. Keeping it in the same system as outcomes data means it lands in the same reports instead of a spreadsheet nobody opens.
Atlas K-12: The Separate K-12 Program
Atlas K-12 is its own program for K-12 districts, built and maintained by AtlasOA, LLC alongside AtlasOA. It ships on its own cadence; here is where it stands.
- Assessment and screener imports (NWEA MAP, i-Ready, Renaissance STAR, and more; CSV first, APIs where vendors offer them)
- REST API with OpenAPI 3.x documentation
- LMS integrations (Canvas, Moodle, Blackbaud LMS partners, and more)
- Family-facing report generator, then a scoped guardian portal
- Compass AI longitudinal pattern detection and NCII catalog expansion
- PostgreSQL backend option (shared with AtlasOA)
Later in 2026 and Beyond: Future Enhancements
- CompTIA (Security+, A+, Network+, CySA+)
- Cisco (CCNA, CCNP)
- Microsoft (Azure, Microsoft 365)
- AWS (Cloud Practitioner, Associate)
- ASE (Automotive), NIMS (Machining), OSHA (Construction), CASEL (SEL)
Why: Time saver. Import domains rather than entering manually.
Success Metrics
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Early adopter institutions | 3-5 by end of Q1 2026 |
| Demo system usage | 50+ people; 10% convert to trial |
| Institutions using for accreditation | 2+ by mid-2026 |
| Trial-to-paid conversion rate | 80%+ by Q3 2026 |
| Net Promoter Score (NPS) | Greater than 50 by Q1 2027 |
Philosophy Behind This Roadmap
Schools do not need more software. They need fewer problems.
This roadmap is intentionally built to:
- Remove friction (Jenzabar integration, CSV import, demo system)
- Fit existing systems (not force institutions to change workflows)
- Save time immediately (automatic narratives, automated alerts)
- Support compliance (evidence packages, audit trails)
- Require minimal change (onboarding playbook, intuitive UI)
Every item on this roadmap solves a specific problem that college presidents and institutional leaders have named. If it does not solve a real problem, it is not on the roadmap.
