Through comprehensive analyses and end-user interviews, the team identified key opportunities and areas for improvement. These findings were thoroughly discussed in a series of workshops, culminating in an internal strategy paper first drafted in December 2023. It encapsulates the group's collective insights and outlines strategic objectives and forthcoming actions.

Our business, market, JTBD, stakeholder, and SWOT analyses draw a global picture of the 2023 situation. We published the first version of the TYPO3 CMS Product Strategy in July 2024. 

The Strategy was updated at the end of 2024 to account for trends and new market analyses, and the TYPO3 CMS v14 Product Roadmap was published in January 2025. 

The group is currently finalizing the organizational aspects, and will soon publish more details on the roadmap implementation.
