Which feature should you build next?
It was one of my questions for my new
Stock Analyzer app. I
asked on Twitter which tools I could use to create a public roadmap, including a voting mechanism.
One of the results led me to
this article by Shipright, which gave me an interesting angle on my tunnel vision regarding public roadmaps. It's straightforward to guide yourself by your end-user, but is it the right thing to do?
I guess the outcome of this all for me is that I at least want to know what my users are looking for. I would use this as input to determine what I want to work on next, but I'll always be the last one to decide.
It's essential to understand your end-user and to be able to get insights into their experience. You might get insights that surprise you and change the roadmap you had in mind.
For what it's worth: I decided to use
GitHub discussions instead. It comes with a clear overview ánd a voting system.
