Disclaimer

Do not depend on the roadmap.

Even though we are trying really hard to make this plan as precise as possible, it is still just a plan. It may change at any moment. The roadmap is driven by our internal priorities influenced by platform subscribers, sponsors and other funding sources. Also, there are other things that can influence the roadmap, such as unexpected maintenance work, surge in support effort, security issues and so on. The roadmap is dynamic, and even the plan for currently-developer release may change just before release.

Even if a feature is already marked as SUBSCRIPTION, it does not mean that it will be developed precisely as planned. The plan can still change. Subscriber or sponsor that is funding development of the feature may re-prioritize. The scope may change to adapt to changed requirements. Anything may happen. The only reliable way how to make sure that you can depend on this plan is to secure a platform subscription and set your own priorities and dates for the features that you depend on.

Rolling Wave

MidPoint development process is quite agile, the development priorities of midPoint project are dynamic. The roadmap is mostly influenced by midPoint subscribers, sponsors, public funding, contributors and market trends. Circumstances may change at any moment. Therefore, midPoint project is planned as a rolling wave:

  • We have quite a precise plan for the next release.
  • We have a rough feature development plan for following few releases (see above).
  • We have a vision where to take the project in a decade or so.

As the project rolls out the plan is also made more precise. The plan is reviewed before the development of each new release starts.

Influencing Roadmap

MidPoint is an open source product developed by professional developers. This approach brings unique combination of software freedom and quality. Though the fact midPoint being open source, engaging full time expert development team needs sustainable funding. This funding comes from midPoint subscriptions.

The roadmap is governed mostly by the people that support midPoint project, either financially or by contributing work. Therefore, if you need to influence priorities of midPoint development, please consider a purchase of a subscription or lending a helping hand. If you want help by investing your time and brains, please see community section of this site.
