Feature plans for Workbetter
Workbetter already helps with schedule comparison and Workday-side helpers. This page is for the bigger planning features we want to add next, especially the ones that make the planner more helpful before registration even starts.
Current focus: planning intelligence
Goal: turn schedules into real academic decisions
Major and requirement tracking
See what courses you still need
Show remaining courses, requirement buckets, and major or minor progress directly inside the planner.
Match schedules to degree progress
Make it easier to compare schedules based on what actually moves you forward.
Course recommendations
Recommend useful next classes
Suggest courses that fit your current path, not just ones that happen to be conflict-free.
Show stronger alternatives
Recommend nearby substitutes when a class is full, blocked, or creates too many conflicts.
Smarter planner assistance
- Explain why one schedule is better than another, not just rank them silently.
- Surface classes that create the biggest conflicts or force awkward daily gaps.
- Suggest easier changes, like swapping to another section or professor, before telling you to remove a course.
Website and extension roadmap together
The planner site and the Chrome extension should keep feeling like one system. Longer term, that means the website can help decide what to take, while the extension helps carry that decision into Workday faster.
We want the handoff between planning, comparison, and registration to feel much more direct.
Why this page exists
So users can see where Workbetter is going next, not just what it already does today.
