Feature prioritization app?
I've got an MVP in front of some people and they have provided me a ton of great feedback and feature suggestions. I've triaged those into issues and I'm now looking for a way to go back to the people and ask for their help deciding which issues they collectively feel are most important.
What I want is a simple web app that users can access with no login to vote on the features they want implemented. Democratic priority setting.
Does this exist already? Don't make me build this! :)
There is https://canny.io/
Cool, I didn't realise it does this. Thanks!
Canny is great, I've started using it recently but here's what I like so far:
You can also check Harvester but it seems more manual. Also Uservoice but I'm not a fan at all.
not sure about no login, but check out votemojo.com
I would be wary of this practise. You should be able to collect user feedback and see that a certain feature is the most requested or that users are struggling the most with a certain issue. If not, you can narrow it down to the top five and call your users up or send a survey? I would try to include users that you haven't spoken to yet, not just the users whose feedback you already have.
You're right it's better to know what the users are having trouble with than the features they want. I phrased it badly.
Not sure if voting for features is good. Normally users come up with problems and you develop a feature to solve this problem. Often users tell you features to solve hidden problems, which you need to discover. Sometimes the real solution is way easier or just a tip you need to tell them. Something like that. Better would be to have a website where you could collect all the input to a specific feature which keeps count of requests and general activity. Something like an analytics for your raw feature request data.
Yes, users voting on "I have this problem" probably makes more sense than voting on "I want you to implement feature X".
At the risk of offering unsolicited advice, I would ask why you are putting roadmapping out to be voted on?
At the MVP stage, the only features of importance are the ones that solve the problem(s) that will lead to repeated usage. Do you know what specific aspects of your product would cause users to use/not use your product?
Exactly. I want to know which problems will lead to repeated usage. So I should ask the user this.
I don't have an answer but I'm curious about that too!
I would try sending out a Survey Monkey using the Ranking question type.
Great idea. There was me about to build software lol.

Good tip, thanks for this. I think you're right that invested users are likely to provide higher quality feedback. Skin in the game.

Nice. I'm using a GH project to track it at the moment.
