Backlog group by theme or absolute priority.

dgaruccio 10 years ago updated by Matthew O'Riordan (Founder) 10 years ago 2
I love the ability to view the backlog by theme. During sprint plannings meeting however, it is difficult to determine the absolute priority. It would be nice if there was an option whether or not group by theme (or another view) to make prioritizing and work selection during sprint planning easier.  Currently we have to print all cards and to it on the table, then update the site.

We know this is an issue and will do something to resolve this.  Out of interest, would you be willing to pay for access to easyBacklog as we are struggling to justify the time on this project building new features when we provide this service for free?

Matthew,
Thanks for the response. 
In general, I would say that, yes I am willing to pay for a service such as this.  That being said, our group is new at using these methodologies (in fact we are in the middle of our first sprint).  So far all indications are positive and that we will continue, but if we do not, then obviously we would not continue the service. 
We would probably need a few sprints worth of trial time to really get an idea of how it fits in with us(so far we are liking it).  Also, as with anything, cost would be a factor.

Thanks,
Dom
Hi Dom

Thanks for the reply.  I appreciate you need to settle in to the service and of course price would be a factor, however we just wanted to get an idea if in principle people are willing / expecting to pay for a service like this in the future.  Right now there are no immediate plans to charge, and we will never cut off the service to existing customers for existing backlogs if we were to bring in a subscription model.

We'll make an announcement as soon as possible about the product roadmap and our plans.

Thanks,
Matt
