The draft product roadmap is a snapshot in time to provide direction and focus on key features for implementation in target releases. This is a new process for this team, therefore the roadmap is speculative and untested and simply provides some basic guidance. Also note that dedicated Product is not available from mid-Jan thru June due to maternity leave, therefore this view is a work-in-progress.
