A few months ago, we tried out a new potential feature for Epicor Ideas called “Polls”… Since this feature comes at an extra cost for Epicor, we wanted to see if it was a valuable feature… The (successful) results of our test, we decided to add the feature.
You can see this new feature in Epicor Ideas as a separate TAB showing the active polls (only one right now), but you should see more.
HOW IT WORKS:
- A Product Manager decides that we need more information… They create a POLL with a question and options to answer. This poll is connected to an EPIC or STORY within our system so that we can gain related research for that part of our roadmap.
- The PM makes the poll PUBLIC, which makes it show in Epicor Ideas
- The PM INVITES people… this is done by associating the POLL with an IDEA. Everyone that voted for that idea will be notified via email that there is a POLL. (This is another reason for voting for things, as you get tagged for future opinions).
- after a day or two, we will have enough information to make a decision based on YOUR opinions and comments.
So… be on the lookout for new polls as we start rolling out this new feature.
