 ### Ongoing work 🚧
 
-- **[Plugins for managing micro services end-2-end](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/milestone/14)**
-  Out of the box Backstage will ship with a set of plugins (Overview, CI, API
-  and Docs) that will demonstrate how a user can manage a micro service and
-  follow a change all the way out in production. Completing this work will make
-  it much easier to see how a plugin can be built that integrates with the
-  Backstage Service Catalog.
-
-- **[Users and teams](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/1807)**
-  Ownership is a central concept in Backstage. It should be easy to import your
-  existing organizational data, such as users and groups/teams, into Backstage.
-  A user the logs into Backstage should see software components owned by the
-  team(s) they are in.
-
 - **[Backstage platform is stable](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/milestone/19)** -
-  The platform APIs and features are stable and can be depended on for
+  The core of Backstage and its features are stable and can be depended on for
   production use. After this plugins will require little to no maintenance.

+- **[Improved Kubernetes plugin](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/2857)** -
   Native support for Kubernetes, making it easier for developers to see and
   manage their services running in k8s.
 
-- Further improvements to platform documentation. Examples include a Golden Path
-  for plugin development.
+- **Global search** - Extend the basic search available in the Backstage Service
+  Catalog with a global search experience.
+
+- **[Software Templates V2](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/2771)** -
+  Expanding the templates to make steps more composable, by adding the ability
+  to add more steps for custom logic like webhooks and using authorization from
+  integrations.
 
 ### Future work 🔮
 
-- **Deploy a product demo at `demo.backstage.io`** - Deploy a typical Backstage
-  deployment available publicly so that people can click around and get a feel
-  for the product without having to install anything.
+- **Golden Path for Plugin Development** - Creating an easy, standardized way
+  for developers to build plugins will encourage contributions and lead to a
+  richer ecosystem for everyone.
 
-- **[Global search](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/1499)** -
-  Extend the basic search available in the Backstage Service Catalog with a
-  global search experience. Long term this search solution should be extensible,
-  making it possible for you add custom search results.
-
-- **[[TechDocs V.2] Stabilization release](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/milestone/17)** -
-  Platform stability and compatibility improvements.
-
-- **Additional auth providers** - Backstage should work for most (all!) auth
-  solutions. Since Backstage can be used by companies regardless of what cloud
-  (or on prem) you are using we are especially keen to get auth support for
-  [AWS](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/290),
-  [Azure](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/348) and others.

+- **[GraphQL API](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/milestone/13)** - A
+  GraphQL API will open up the rich metadata provided by Backstage in a single
   query. Plugins can easily query this API as well as extend the model where
   needed.
 
+- **Inter Plugin Communication** - **[Under consideration]** Establish more
+  clearly defined patterns for plugins to communicate.
+
+- **Improved Access Control** - **[Under consideration]** Provide finer grained
+  access controls and management making it possible for you to better control
+  the platforms user experience.
