ALM Rangers Triage #6 - What happened to your idea in UserVoice?

If you have submitted an ALM Rangers solution idea, please locate it below and determine if you are happy with the status and comment.  We need your candid feedback to ensure we prepare for the next triage and action your idea appropriately!

This post is reflects the status as at 2013/11/09.

Where are we?

In terms of the FY14 timeline we are in the second quarter, sixth idea triage, and are currently working on Sprint 17 (November), as shown below:

The teams are hard at work to complete a number of guidance projects by the end of sprint 17 (S17 / November) to ensure that we can use December for review, limiting content development during a typically quiet month. With five projects “in-flight”, two projects on “landing” approach and December (family & vacation month) around the corner, we are intentionally not starting or considering a wave of new projects at this time.

We will have 4-5 projects landing this year, which is our favourite part of the adventures … looking forward to a busy month
