Below you can see the features we are focussing on and when. We will aim to release improvements under the themes stated here and you will receive an update on what is released in our Practique Server release notes and Practique for iPad release notes. Remember that we regularly review our roadmap and priorities based on user feedback. This should, however, give you a good overview of our plans. You can also see all of the features that we have captured from your feedback. If your feature is not here it may not have gone through our review process yet or we may have included it as part of another feature.

title | How we plan and focus our work |
---|
Next three months - These are large features we feel are really important for our customers and the progression of Practique
Next six months - Again these are larger features or blocks of work that we feel are important. We will also allot a proportion of our development time budget to features decided on during the Practique User Group meetings. You should expect to see these features begin to appear in the next release. Generally we think the release should be ready for the next Practique User Group if they are every six months.
Next 12 months - Larger features that we have prioritised from user feedback that we know will make a great difference to Practique and are part of our longer term strategy. We expect these to be the first candidates when planning the work for the next three and six months
Continuous - These are smaller features based on user feedback. We often can include these as part of our ongoing development as they take less time than the larger features. You should expect to see some of these features in the next six months.
Postponed - These are features that we have captured from users' feedback, but that are not seen as a priority for the next 12 months.
