Navigator is driven forward by our customers' ideas and suggestions, and we welcome these valuable contributions.
To provide clarity on our enhancement process, please be aware that we use a scoring system to evaluate all enhancement suggestions.This system considers the development cost, the potential benefits, and the proportion of our customer base that may benefit from the enhancement.
Here are some key points about our enhancement process:
1. EvaluationPeriod: All enhancement suggestions are reviewed within four weeks of receipt.Each suggestion is then either accepted or rejected based on the criteria mentioned above. Some suggestions may be rejected if the requested functionality is already available within the system.
2. DevelopmentAllocation: Each month, a portion of our developers' time is dedicated to customer enhancements. These enhancements are prioritised and allocated based on their scores. Once an enhancement is complete, it is documented in our release notes. No further communication is made with the customer beyond the acceptance notification.
3. Importance of Business Benefit: When submitting an enhancement request, it is crucial to detail the actual business benefit and impact on your company if the enhancement were implemented. We also consider the overall benefit to our entire customer base. While an enhancement might seem like a good idea, it may not provide a significant enough business benefit. Sometimes, another request may take precedence if it offers greater overall value.
4. Feasibility and Prioritisation: While we strive to address as many enhancement requests as possible, we focus on those that offer the most significant benefit to our customers and the business as a whole.
5. Archiving:Enhancement requests that do not reach the top of our development list are archived after 18 months.
Thank you for your continued support and contributions to Navigator.
