Xpand Portal 2019 Summary Report
So, 2019 is behind, we’ve just published our last release 3.2.4 for 2019 and it is time to tally up our accomplishments for this year.
It has been quite rich in new features, as our team couldn’t help but keep delivering far beyond the initial roadmap. Not only were we concentrating on all new and shiny, but also devoting a lot of our attention on improving and enhancing existing features.
Let’s get to the facts!
In 2019 we have delivered 75 user stories, 117 bug fixes, and closed 195 tasks.
Even while delivering beyond the plan, we always try to stick to the promised roadmap, as some of the features are very much anticipated by our customers.
