Abstract
A feature request and a price corresponding to the feature request are received. The feature request is validated, the validating determining an implementation cost of the feature request. Using a return on investment of the feature request, the feature request is selected for implementation, the return on investment computed using the implementation cost and the price. Implementation of the selected feature request is caused.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a feature request and a price corresponding to the feature request;
- validating the feature request, the validating determining an implementation cost of the feature request;
- selecting, using a return on investment of the feature request, the feature request for implementation, the return on investment computed using the implementation cost and the price;
- and
- causing implementation of the selected feature request.
A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage medium, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a feature request and a price corresponding to the feature request;
- validating the feature request, the validating determining an implementation cost of the feature request;
- selecting, using a return on investment of the feature request, the feature request for implementation, the return on investment computed using the implementation cost and the price;
- and
- causing implementation of the selected feature request.
A computer system comprising a processor and one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a feature request and a price corresponding to the feature request;
- validating the feature request, the validating determining an implementation cost of the feature request;
- selecting, using a return on investment of the feature request, the feature request for implementation, the return on investment computed using the implementation cost and the price;
- and
- causing implementation of the selected feature request.
