MidPoint does not have a roadmap in a traditional sense. MidPoint development process is considerably agile and the development priorities of midPoint project are dynamic. The roadmap is mostly influenced by midPoint subscribers and contributors. MidPoint project is planned in a rolling wave:

• We have quite a precise plan for the next release.
• We have a feature development plan for following few releases (see below).
• We have rough plan for next few years and 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 each new release starts which is at least twice a year.

Roadmap Overview

SPONSORED: feature that was funded by midPoint customer/partner or a free slot available for sponsored feature (see below)

Fluid Features and Subscriptions

Each midPoint release has a reserved capacity for subscriber features.

MidPoint is an open source product that is developed by professional developers. This approach brings unique combination of software freedom and quality. However professional development needs to be continually funded. This funding comes from midPoint subscriptions. MidPoint subscribers may use their subscription to vote for a specific feature to be placed on roadmap. We refer to the feature that is placed on the roadmap by any of these methods as subscriber feature. Each midPoint release has a reserved capacity for the features that directly or indirectly contribute to the funding of midPoint development. If the funding of next release cannot be secured by the means of subscriptions, some midPoint developers must provide the funding using alternative methods (mostly professional services). These alternative methods leave only a very small portion of the developer's time that can be dedicated to midPoint development. As a consequence, subscriber feature slots cannot be filled in by community feature requests otherwise midPoint development funding would be at risk. If sufficient funding for midPoint development is not secured by subscriber features the midPoint roadmap has to be reduced and the development capacity reserved to the subscriber feature slots is lost. Therefore if you depend on a specific roadmap feature please consider purchasing midPoint platform subscription and use that to make sure that the feature is placed on the roadmap.

Except for subscriber features the Evolveum company invests into one or two major features or architectural improvements in each release. This investment is to make sure that the quality of the midPoint architecture increases and that midPoint will continually gain new progressive features. This helps midPoint to maintain its status of state-of-the-art identity management system.

There are also some features that are not yet assigned to specific releases:

• Developer SDK
• Connector Framework Evolution
• Fully customizable forms
• Flexible data caching
• Advanced SoD support and reporting

• History and Rollback

• Advanced Role Administration

• Account archivation

• Manual Processing

... and Beyond

We have a long-term vision that guides the project.

There is also one free way how to influence midPoint development: voting for issues. There is a voting options in our Jira. Registered users can vote for issues, which gives us a hint where to focus during planning and development.

Following table contains all features that are not planned yet and are labeled as product-feature.
If you would like to have some of the features in next releases then you can vote for them. If this table is missing some of your favorite features then you can create Jiras and vote for them.
Tip: Don't forget to label your features as product-feature to highlight them for others.
