We still haven't implemented it.""One of Polarion's shortcomings would be planning. It can handle plans, but the planning feature is very basic.""The configuration aspect of the solution is not easy. A person needs a lot of programming knowledge in order to successfully handle the job.""The most important thing for them to improve should be platform-independent features. They should also provide extensive pipelines and release pipelines that we can define and we can work on."
