+A recent post on the YaST blog about [Agama’s roadmap](https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2024-02-08/year-of-agama) looks at the new installer as functional enough to embark on tasks ranging from localization and network configuration to storage setup and initial software selection. 
+
+For those who don’t follow the [YaST blog](https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/), here is what lies ahead for Agama in 2024.
+
+The team has outlined a strategy for this year and, despite the fluidity of its development, the team is committed to a steady release schedule for Agama with two significant milestones. The first is set for mid-April and the other toward mid-July. 
+
+The milestone in April is set to revolutionize Agama's architecture. It will be moving away from its reliance on [Cockpit](https://cockpit-project.org/) toward a more autonomous framework that is coupled with a refined user interface that aims to streamline storage configurations.
+
+The aim of the second milestone is to improve Agama's flexibility and capabilities for unattended installations, which seeks to position Agama as a formidable alternative to [AutoYaST](https://github.com/yast/yast-autoinstallation).
+
+The scaffolding provided by the [Cockpit Project](https://cockpit-project.org/) makes the vision for Agama's future clear in evolving a direction of a new path. The coming months will be dedicated to redefining this approach to ensure Agama's growth is unhindered by external dependencies.
+
+While architectural modifications lay the groundwork for future advancements, an equal focus must be made to enhance the user experience. The revamped storage configuration interface will be both user-friendly for newcomers and more versatile for the experience. This aims to provide a balance of simplicity and customization.
+
+The [openSUSE Conference 2024](https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC24) is nestled between the milestones and the team will make use of this event to serve as a platform for discussing Agama's potential to redefine the installation experience within the [openSUSE](https://get.opensuse.org/) ecosystem. insights and contributions are vital to Agama's success so stakeholders are encouraged to engage with the team, share ideas and participate in the ongoing development of Agama.
