What is an idea

In StoriesOnBoard's Feedback management, Ideas are larger building blocks in the product development process that incorporate several insights. They serve as the middle level in the product feedback hierarchy.

Ideas are used to organize the noise of insights and define actionable new features or initiatives. They help the internal team organize upcoming activities, make meaningful discussions, and prioritize what to consider and include in the product backlog as a new Idea or initiative based on the received user feedback or insights.

Ideas are presented on a customizable Idea Board where you can define your own structure, prioritize, organize, label ideas, and set custom views to display relevant ideas only.

Type of Ideas

Ideas are formulated based on the received user and stakeholder insights by creating actionable feature ideas or new initiatives that would help to improve the product the team works on.

Example of an idea : Online payment implementation.

Who can create ideas

Ideas can be added by a licensed user internally using the Feedback management component in StoriesOnBoard. Ideas can be created on the Idea board.

It is also a requirement that the user must hold the required access to Feedback management on the Product they work on.

How to create an Idea

If you are a licensed user with access to Feedback management, you can simply follow these steps to create a new Idea:

  1. Visit the "Idea" menu

  2. Select the "Add new Idea" option

  3. Enter the title of your Idea

  4. Include the description

  5. Add a "Portal description" if needed
    (if you add the portal description, when you share the Idea over a Portal visitors can only see this and not the internal description)

  6. Changes are saved automatically

How to customize ideas

When you create an Idea, you can setup its parameters and access its details:

  • Title

  • Description (internal)

  • Portal description (visible on Portals when it's shared)

  • Create and add labels

  • Idea status

  • List of connected Insights

  • List of contacts
