Back in 2013, when I first started working on SimpleRisk in my spare time on nights and weekends, I started using a massive Trello board to track all of the features I would need to do my job as a risk manager. I used a relatively simple scheme of labeling each card as yellow, orange, or red to indicate the priority. With each new feature I added, more organizations would adopt the platform; and with each new organization came fresh ideas on how to continually drive the product forward. We still routinely get feature requests from customers and, today, that Trello board has grown to hundreds of cards and are generally prioritized based on three things:
Even as we've grown the team to include additional development resources, this prioritization process still serves us today, but we want it to be better, and that's where you come in. Recently, we've been revamping the SimpleRisk website to make our resources easily accessible to customers and prospects, alike. One of the brand new additions to the website, is a Suggest a Feature page which allows you to submit your own feature suggestions for SimpleRisk, as well as upvote suggestions from others. I've added a few items to get the conversation started, but my hope is that our community will embrace this as a means to help us to align our development resources to the things that matter most to our customers. The SimpleRisk Feature Roadmap page will continue to be a resource to find out about high level features we are actively working on putting into past, present, and future releases, but we cannot wait to hear what features you want to see added to SimpleRisk!
