Feature Request: Public Roadmap

Post by Frank SquirrelHerder »

I'd adore seeing a public roadmap for Kitely development.

I expect the response might be "we don't want to advertise our plans to competitors" or "this is not a priority" but please consider:
  • Most software development firms have public roadmaps, including (and especially) those in highly competitive industries
  • The purpose of a public roadmap is to show product differentiation, including planned features
  • This can be used as a sales tool as clients weigh their options and recognize Kitely as a leader in developing proprietary features--not just another cloned grid.
  • Allowing comments and up-voting from your clients allows you to organize priorities (a common response I receive when suggesting features is "it's not a priority"...but if you find significant up-voting from your client base, maybe you might discover demand where you might not have believed there would be)
  • Allowing clients to submit feature requests (or if you would rather manually moderate such) further allows feature requests by your clients to percolate to the surface. In my experience, some of the best ideas come from complete newbies, as they are not "contaminated" by the paradigm of tradition and are able to stumble upon product pain points.
This doesn't have to be complicated or resource intensive; a simple Trello board is often used by many software startups.

Please consider this request. :)
