    Hi,
    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    At this time, after reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, we have decided to reject it. The reason we are rejecting RFE 109878 is we have not had many clients ask for this enhancement. There doesn’t seem to be much interest from other clients. We would rather invest in high priority items that bring the most value to many clients.

    We appreciate your input to IMS, and we hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Deepak Kohli - deepakk@us.ibm.com

    After reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, our decision is to add this item to our backlog. Items in our backlog are expected to be delivered within the next 18 months. We reserve the right to re-prioritize our backlog items as new requests come in. This helps ensure that we are constantly focused on providing the best value to all of our clients.


    Have a great day!

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    We are currently reviewing this item for consideration, and we plan to seek additional feedback from other IMS clients. When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and our ability to deliver within the next 18 months and prioritize those.

    You will automatically be notified of ongoing progress associated with this RFE.

    Have a great day!
