How do Made Open determine their product road map?

As a small, self-funded business, collaboration with our clients has been key to our growth. Your feedback as customers, coordinators and users has shaped every decision we make. Items on our road map are subject to an internal scoring method to help us determine the priority for development sprints.

We score future tasks based on a variety of questions:

• Will it improve the user experience?
• Does it help us achieve our vision for creating social impact in communities?
• Will it benefit all our platform customers?
• Is it a priority of the platform owner?
• Does the customer requesting it have available budget for this change?
• Will not doing it prevent communities from being successful?
• Will it improve the speed and reliability of our software?
• Is not doing it increasing our chances of losing a client?
• Will it automate something that is manual?
• Do we have the skills and resources to do it?
