Happy Friday, Listserv -

Apologies in advance for fueling the rumor mill...

I was recently on a conference call where colleagues were recounting their experiences at the ESRI Federal GIS Users Conference in DC last month.  One attendee mentioned this was the first time ESRI staff acknowledged that ArcGIS Pro will replace ArcMap.

I don't know the context and the timeline wasn't mentioned ... I assume it will be a few years.  I suspect we could see this coming, but thus far the official line has been that ArcGIS Pro is not a replacement for ArcMap. I'm curious if other users have begun hearing the same thing.  Should we all start looking towards transitioning to the ArcGIS Pro platform?

More to the point, I'm interested to learn about your experiences with ArcGIS Pro.  Admittedly, I have limited exposure to it so far... there always seem to be more pressing assignments begging of my attention.

When have you used ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcMap?
What projects have lent well to the transition?
Which ones have fallen short?

If you manage or coordinate other GIS staff/users, have you encouraged them to start using Pro?

Thanks for your feedback.

(I assume this may be of interest to many on the listserv, but if you want to email me directly, I'm happy to compile responses and share a summary with everyone later.)
