Starting Release 8.2, Zephyr Enterprise documentation is moving from its current location on Atlassian to a dedicated, standalone Zephyr Enterprise Documentation page. Please see: https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-enterprise/docs/en/zephyr-enterprise-product-development-process-and-roadmap.html

The intent of this page is to provide transparency into our roadmap process for Zephyr Enterprise, including when and how we address feature requests and enhancements, and when to expect fixes for bugs and defects.
