+
+Define Audit Scope
+------------------
+
+Administrator will be able to provide a logical subset of resources
+where Watcher will run the optimization. This subset will be based on
+`Host aggregates`_ and `Availability Zones`_.
+
+Graph Model
+-----------
+
+The graph based data model  would aggregate resource information for the
+`Cluster`_ and allow for the effective representation of the topology
+of workload deployments. Through this model graph analysis techniques could be
+employed in the context of the `Strategy`_ definition.
+
+Watcher Versionned objects
+--------------------------
+
+Make all Watcher objects support `oslo.versionnedobjects`_.
+
+Automatic triggering Action Plans
+---------------------------------
+
+Administrator will be able to choose to run the `Action Plan`_ automaticaly
+right after Watcher has run the `Audit`_.
+
+Limit Concurrent Actions
+------------------------
+
+We propose a capability that limits the number of concurrent `Action`_
+that can be in flight when a particular `Audit`_ is invoked.
+
+Workload Characterization Grammar
+---------------------------------
+
+We should be able to characterize such workloads as input to Watcher for
+ensuring Application QoS, placements and consolidation. We need to define
+a grammar to describe those workloads.
+
+Workload Characterization and QoS
+---------------------------------
+
+Based on the grammar defined earlier, we should be able to describe workload
+characteristics and map them to applications. Then it would allow Watcher to
+build optimization `Strategy`_ based on those characteristics.
+
+Update Notifications
+--------------------
+
+We should update Watcher notifications system to be compliant with
+`Nova Notifications`_.
+
+Notifications for audits
+------------------------
+
+Now that all Watcher object are versionned, we need to update the `Audit`_
+object logic to handle notifications.
+
+Description For Dynamic Action
+------------------------------
+
+We should add the ability to submit a description of each `Action`_ that
+can append in an `Action Plan`_.
+
+Stale Action Plan
+-----------------
+
+We should add a new state for `Action Plan`_ to be able to set it as
+superseded in case the `Cluster Data Model`_ has changed or an event happened
+that invalidate all previous `Action Plan`_.
+
+Audit tag in VM Metadata
+------------------------
+
+As watcher runs audits to achieve a `Goal`_, there should be some way for the
+application/VM owners to know that their VMs are under `Audit`_ and its
+flagged before `Action Plan`_ execution.
