That roadmap will all be completed soon at this rate

We shared some more details about our investment platform in our blog post announcing our crowdfunding round -
The productās out, time to scale
We will grow our engineering team and enhance our platform.
This will allow us to speed up important features like fractional shares, a stock universe in the thousands and new account types. Itāll support our upcoming analytics, which will give our customers unique ways to understand their portfolios and improve their performance all from the app.
If youāve looked at our roadmap recently, youāll also have noticed one prominent item is our own investment platform. This is a unique technological and operational project. It will bring a huge amount of the intricate, decentralised processes and data streams of stock market investing into one modern, in-house platform.
As well as aiding many of the features above, this will dramatically drive down our costs and give us way more adaptability and freedom as a business.

I appreciate that timelines do change - but would it be possible to put some sort of estimated timeline on the release of each product/feature? This is a level of transparency I would really value as an investor. Slippage does not concern me!

I appreciate your understanding but weāve purposely avoided that because slippage does concern some people 
The roadmapās intended to show you what our priorities are & enable you to track features progress from āin planningā to a āwork in progressā etc.
I hope that makes sense!

What about 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and over 12 months? 
Those are timeframes, timeframes mean thereās potential for slippage

Still think you should add a new bucket to the roadmap called Never - you could put CFDs, margin accounts, and āChanging the āslow internetā textā in it.

Do it. I was being flippant about slow internet but not about having a Never bucket - itās good for a product/team to be able to remind themselves what theyāre not doing, and possibly helpful to users asking for features thatāll never happen.

What happens if something drastically changes in the future though?
Well, yes, maybe āNot happeningā rather than āNeverā
'Not Currently in Scope" has a better ring to it and offers flexibility - we use this where I am as Product Manager - its important to let people know whats not in scope as much as what is!

I hear you, though I think āscopeā implies that the only reason why feature X isnāt included is a budget or time one rather than a vision one. I think FT should be more opinionated than that
Please can we have more info about when we can expect certain features? The road map is great, but it doesnāt really give anyone an indication of when features will arrive. It feels like a lot of things are waiting for the investment platform, but all we know about that is that it should launch before the end of the year. I know itās difficult to put a time frame on something, because then people will rightly or wrongly hold you to it, but even rough timescales are better than nothing.
With the loss of Alex, I feel that community communication is going to be more important than ever if Freetrade is to continue to grow - especially with the increase in competition.

@Gaz92 The roadmap will see a dramatic revamp and a series of improvements starting next week. This updated roadmap has been in the works for a few weeks now.
The team have been working on quite a few features the community has requested, and weāll re-focus on communicating about them. Thereās been a lot of focus on the Investment Platform, which is an immense and important undertaking, but weāll focus on the user impacting aspects of it (such as fractional shares) instead. There is also plenty of product updates coming that are not related to the Platform.
