Buy a Feature - Jeff Brantley
Which features will customers purchase? Which projects should be funded?
Unfortunately, this choice is often made after long debate without customer or stakeholder feedback. Or worse, all are selected! The Buy a Feature game improves this process by asking your customers to help you make the decision in a life-like, yet fun collaborative market game. By engaging them and giving them limited resources, you let them prioritize their needs. The magic lies in that your customers are negotiating with each other for specific features. It is this negotiation that enhances your understanding of what they truly want or need.
