See what’s in development and have a play
Take the opportunity to try out some prototypes from our labs
We’re offering users the opportunity to try out some of the development views and capabilities that we are working on in our Labs, and some of which will move into the Essential EA tool in the future.
Feel free to download and use them with your data, we’d love to get your feedback on suggestions, improvements and further ideas to help you in your role. These are working prototypes, so if you do happen to find any bugs please let us know.
Note: The Labs developments are not supported, although you can post queries on the forums. We do not guarantee all developments will appear in future releases. We do not guarantee release dates but will aim to push some of these into the next release.
