You are viewing the documentation for Blueriq 16. Documentation for other versions is available in our documentation directory.
Below is a list of items that have been marked as functional debt. It consists of functionality that is available in Blueriq Studio, but isn't available in Blueriq Encore 15.
Why a functional debt list?
We aim to offer a future-proof replacement for Blueriq Studio as quickly as possible without making any sacrifices in quality. A high adoption rate is essential. Given these constraints, we have postponed some features that are available in Blueriq Studio. We'd like to be transparent about these choices, hence a functional debt list.
How do items end up on this list?
Functionality that is available in Blueriq Studio but costs a lot of time to implement and for which there is a workaround for the Business Engineer ends up on this list.
