4 Confidence Level Definitions We use the term confidence level to describe the likelihood that the items on the roadmap will be delivered at the dates shown on the timeline. There are many factors that impact our ability to predict delivery including but not limited to: Customer priorities Our releases are driven by customer feedback and prioritization. Sometimes the priorities change due to any number of external factors. At any time, we may change the priorities in any given future release to better reflect our customers interests. Quality Targets Each of our product releases undergoes a stringent quality assurance process prior to release. Should a particular capability not meet our quality targets, we may choose to defer that specific capability to a future release or not complete the development of that capability at all. Design Constraints In response to customer feedback, we attempt to provide visibility beyond the next product release. In doing so, we share capabilities that reflect customer requests but have not gone through the technical design phase. In some cases, the technical design phase will reveal a larger level of effort and dependencies that make the original timeframe infeasible. Further, the design phase could reveal that the capability is not technically feasible at all or not cost effective resulting in abandonment of effort. Budget Cycles For roadmaps that might include visibility beyond the current Ellucian fiscal year budget, all items are subject to financial progress against goals and the availability of funds for that particular project in future budget cycles. Engineering Forecasting Accuracy All roadmap items are subject to some level of forecasting accuracy imprecision resulting in certain functionality pushing out to later releases on a roadmap timeline. The further out the release date, the higher the likelihood that one or more of these factors will impact the accuracy of our roadmaps. That is why we clearly indicate less than 100% confidence for our next release even though it may scheduled to be released in the short-term, and why we use decreasing confidence levels for items that are further out on the roadmap.
