How we plan and prioritise
Our roadmaps are shaped by you. Through ongoing collaboration with schools, trusts, local authorities, school support units, and catering teams, we prioritise the functionality that solves your biggest challenges – in the order that delivers the greatest impact.
What you’ll see in this roadmap are module-level releases. Alongside these, our dedicated teams work on user experience and workflow enhancements, delivering smaller updates every term.
As with all agile development, these roadmaps reflect our current plans. Timings and sequencing may evolve as we test, refine, and respond to customer feedback, ensuring we focus on what matters most to the organisations we support.
