The old PI roadmap allowed us to perform some software release planning. Can you bring something like that in?
The old Roadmap had planning lists, such that we had some clue to product updates and we could plan our internal software release schedules. The new roadmap is a great glossy for general long term strategies, but doesn't help us know what software may be released in the next quarter or year. Can you bring something like that back. Maybe a new name, since "Road map" has changed, but maybe "product planning guide"? Or, please pick a new name. Thanks.

Not having a softare release roadmap makes it very difficult to plan & schedule for upgrade projects - and frankly it's removal showed a lack of consideration & respect for your customers. The rationale provided by OSIsoft at the time ("so we can focus on selling the software we already have") was a disgraceful cop-out!
Hopefully Aveva will show more sense - and will reinstate the roadmap again -

Not having a road map makes it difficult to plan for changes and when to expect new versions of client and other software updates.

would be good to have an overview about the changes too, we have an old version installed and what has changed in the following releases ...

Agreed. What we have now is a step backward.

Agreed. Makes planning a little tougher, eg. if a new version is being released in December, I could justify delaying qualification after December.

Fully agree, the old roadmap help both in planning internal release cycles at customers, and it also helped in the decision process if a workaround is needed for e.g. some functionality currently missing but announced for an upcoming release.

We know of course that a planning guide like the old road map is not and cannot be a commitment by OSIsoft to deliver a product at a given date, but knowing what products are planned to be released allows for general planning. Thank you.

We agree with this too. The old roadmap allowed us to plan for our next internal application package release. Without that we cannot see when a new version will be made available to our users. Please make it available again.

Totally agree with this, I've always heavily relied on the Old Roadmap for planning and are just beginning our next planning cycle and can no longer find the Old Road Map. Please bring this back. Thanks
