scursio, I'd like to know more about this as well. My company is bringing this onboard and I am concerned that this program is no longer maturing. There are still many things to be enhanced, and I think with the right outlook this program will be a serious contender in this software space. But, it isn't there yet...

MReeseDuo Let's put it this way, the roadmap does not reflect the engineering backlog. Its a tool that is used by PMs and Marketing to make it easier to inform customers as well as present the information in a nicer form. Unfortunately, due to not pulling from the actual backlog automatically (its curated, hand entered information), it can sometimes become stale or completely out of date.


Rest assured, Planner is going strong 🙂
