# Roadmap Status: What "Planned" Really Means

_By OutSmart · Jan 19, 2026_

When you see an item in the **Planned** column, it means we have officially committed to building this feature. It has passed our internal prioritization framework and is now in the "queue."

### Why is it in Planned?

-   **The Scope is Defined:** We have a clear understanding of the problem this feature will solve.
    
-   **Alignment:** It aligns with our long-term product principles.
    
-   **Resource Allocation:** We have identified the team that will eventually build this, though they may currently be finishing other tasks.
    

### What should you do?

If a "Planned" item is critical to your workflow, **upvote it and leave a comment.** Even though it’s already planned, your specific use cases help our designers ensure the first version they build meets your actual needs.
