NNI Roadmap 2020

Backlog is now promoting to a more visible place - pinned issue: NNI Backlog - welcome to comment and suggest #1917. You can find and comment on it on the top of Issues page.

NNI Roadmap 2019

We typically look out 6 to 12 months and establish topics we want to work on. As we go we learn and our assessment of some of the topics listed changes. Thus, we may add or drop topics as we go.

Items with checkbox [] are work items in progress or finished. Items in bullets * are still in backlog need triage.

We describe some initiatives as "investigations" which means our goal in the next few months is to better understand the problem and potential solutions before scheduling actual feature work. Once an investigation is done, we will update our plan, either deferring the initiative or committing to it.

Iteration plans can be found --> Iteration Plans.

As always, we will listen to your feedback and adapt our plans if needed.
