But the release cycles of the company pom and your project shouldn't be connected. I'd argue that you should only be using the same released version of the company pom until it doesn't work for that project anymore, and only then change to a new released version. Furthermore, I think you should never use a snapshot version of a parent unless it's part of the same multi-module build (i.e. shares the same release cycle).
