Our product roadmap is directly driven by user feedback. We want to hear your voice - create feature request or suggestions using tickets in JIRA. This dashboard shows what's been requested, what's been prioritized.  Here's what you do.

  1. Create a Feature Request in JIRA - Under the MifosX Mifos X project, Create a New Feature or Improvement ticket. Be as detailed as possible. Add a label with the name of your organization. You can use the quick-create box in the widget below.  

  2. Vote for yours and other features - This is how you show your support. Send an email to mifos-users list so you can get support from other users. 

  3. Estimate Feature Requests - Members of the product management team will meet regularly weekly to estimate each feature. We'll kick the feature request back to you for more details if there is not enough information to make an estimate. We may ask that you write a Function Specification to support the request to ensure the development team covers all the features and the community can vote. 

  4. Review and Prioritize Feature Requests- On a monthly basis in line with each major release cycle, the  The product management team will review reviews the current list of feature requests and assign assigns an implementation priority using the MoSCoW ranking (Must, Should, Could, and Won't). The pie chart shows what has currently been ranked. Priority is assessed based on:
    1. Usefulness of the feature - is this functionality widely needed across the community?
    2. Demand/Interest in feature - which MFIs have requested this? How many votes does this feature have?
    3. Level of effort required - how big of a feature is this to implement? Are resources available?

  5. Assign to Product Roadmap - Based on these priority rankings, we'll assign features to the releases in upcoming Product Roadmap - this is a fluid process and features will move around. 

  6. Identify Development Resource to Build Feature - Once a feature is in the roadmap, the community will work to find resources to deliver on it - this can development may come from a number of areas: 1) Volunteer developers 2) Paid developers 3) Mifos Specialists 4) IT Staff at the MFI. 

  7. Ship new Feature! - Once the feature has been built and tested, we'll ship it in the assigned release!
