TL;DR overview
- Sonar's product portals allow users and customers to view, vote on, and submit ideas for SonarQube product features, making the development roadmap transparent and community-influenced.
- Publishing public roadmaps reflects Sonar's product-led growth philosophy: teams that rely on SonarQube should have visibility into what's coming and the ability to advocate for features that matter most to their workflows.
- Users can track the status of requested features—from consideration through development to release—giving organizations a way to plan integrations or workflow changes around upcoming product capabilities.
- Participating in product portals directly influences prioritization; teams with high-impact or frequently requested use cases are encouraged to submit and upvote ideas through the community portal.
Sonar was born from open source software and most of what we do remains FLOSS, so openness and transparency have always been fundamental principles. With a recent change in how we approach product management, we've gone even further.
We've recently opened up product portals on Productboard. You'll find them for SonarQube Server, SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube for IDE. Each one shows the features we're currently working on, the ones we've released recently and the ones we're planning.
For each product you'll see also one more tab: Under Consideration. This is the tab that holds the features we're considering for each product, but aren't sure about yet. For some, we've decided we'll do some work in that area, but not what the details should be. For others, we're not even sure whether to do any work. For those, we need your input.
Click on any portal card and at the bottom you'll see three voting options: Nice-to-have, Important, Critical. Once you've voted, you'll have a chance to give us details. And we need those details to help us shape what we'll build. We will be reading your comments on Under Consideration features. So please, vote, and share your use cases with us. We want your help.
