Feedback evaluation
When we receive new feedback or an idea for an enhancement, our support team will gather as much information as they can and then send it to be triaged by our Product team. Internally, we then ask a few key questions about new features or enhancements to determine if feedback will be integrated into our product vision or not. We evaluate factors such as:
- How many customers would benefit from this change and to what degree?
- How does this idea for enhancement relate to the roadmap we're already pursuing?
- Would this feature negatively impact the experience of other users?
- How much work would be required for a solution, and what are other competing priorities?
It may take some time to collect data before we make a disposition on the feature. Once we've finished our assessment and determine we'll move forward, we'll assign an overall priority and queue it for roadmap scheduling. If a potential update has a low impact relative to the effort required, or doesn't fit into our current roadmap, it may end up being rejected. If you're curious about the status of a feature request, you can always keep an eye on our release notes.
