How does the product team use ideas?
The product team considers these ideas each time they prepare for quarterly roadmap planning. Product managers use the following statuses to indicate their decision:
Open: not yet reviewed; waiting on more information before making a decision.
Considered For Future: will not be implemented immediately, but will be revisited at a later date.
Prioritized In Roadmap: work has not yet begun, but product and engineering plan to work on it imminently.
In Development: product and engineering are actively working on the feature.
Released: requested feature has been shipped!
Already Exists: requested feature is already available in the product.
Will Not Implement: the product team has determined that there is not enough support for an idea and it will not be implemented.
What does it take for an idea to be prioritized in the Databricks roadmap?
Two of the most important company values at Databricks are to let the data decide and to listen to our customers. If an idea has garnered a significant number of votes, product managers will dig deeper into the idea and determine the best way to address the request.
SLA for product management response
The product management team reviews ideas regularly and monitors the Ideas Portal to ensure that it is up to date.
