Product Plan SAP Analytics Cloud and Digital Boardroom Q4 2020 PUBLIC Quarterly Release Schedule Updates to the Timeline Since launching in 2015, SAP Analytics Cloud received updates approximately every two weeks. As of version 2018.19, we moved from a bi-weekly release schedule to a Quarterly Release schedule to align with SAP’s global strategy for cloud application releases. This means you can expect a new version once every quarter. The Product Plan timeline shown below will now reflect the current plan based on this Quarterly Release Schedule. Q4/2020 Q1/2021 Future Direction If you are on the Fast-Track subscription (updates every two weeks), please note that features may be available to you earlier than what is listed in the Quarterly Release Schedule timeline.
