Delve roadmap?
Hey Matt, check out this thread if you haven't seen it already and the best response for some official commentary:
The gist is that Microsoft Graph is alive and well, powering many of the intelligent experiences in Microsoft 365 but as a standalone experience, Delve is less relevant and hasn't received many improvements. Into the realms of speculation, Delve is being left as it is but is no longer strategically vital as it once was and may well be deprecated, eventually even removed.
Have a look at the Ignite session catalog or the Office 365 roadmap and you'll see the lack of any mention of Delve as an ongoing product. For Microsoft's vision check out these sessions, which may be of interest:

Sure, but I was wondering about the overall direction. It seems like the Delve-like functionality (at least the automated search displays) are being refined and will be used in more places, but I don't know if a new single pane experience like classic pure Delve has a future. If one is envisioned, I wonder what that looks like. The O365 profile update page portion of Delve still has a use (a different "action" use and experience than the search result side), so I would think that that functionality would still be around and hopefully improved and expanded in the future as well. Maybe we'll hear more at Ignite?
