AgileWe expect and embrace changes to the product plan while still striving

While the primary delivery vehicle remains point releases every 12-18 months we will also deliver urgently required new features via the Early Availability scheme.

Maintenance

We are not immune from bugs! But we have radically improved the performance of our maintenance program in the last few years.
