When an Idea has potential for delivery, it will have one of the following statuses.  As the Idea progresses through the product development process, the status will be updated accordingly.

The Idea will be reviewed and updated every three releases until the road map plans change.  Considered for Future Roadmap: Similar to "Under Consideration".
