What we aim for

The Goal with SpiceCRM is to have quarterly releases that deliver additional features. While we of course try to stay linked to our roadmap the development is driven by the partners collaborating and the customers we work with. The roadmap is supposed to be a guide for future planning. This roadmap does not represent a commitment to the functionality but acts as a guiding principle.
