Let demand rank your roadmap

More good ideas than you can build? Members rate each candidate feature, cast one forced 'ship this first' vote, and tell you what's missing — so you sequence the roadmap on evidence, not the loudest voice.

What it showcases

Features most survey bots don't have

📊

Intensity, not just a yes

Every candidate feature is rated must-have, nice-to-have, or skip, so you see how badly people want each one — not just a thumbs up or down.

🥇

The forced 'ship one' vote

A single pick-one question surfaces the feature people want most when they can't have everything — the sharpest priority signal there is.

🔢

Live appetite score

Each respondent sees their own 'feature appetite' tallied from their ratings — a small payoff that shows Subo's scoring in action.

📝

A what's-missing box

An open request captures the idea that isn't on your list yet — the request-board half, so the roadmap grows from real demand.

Worked example This template comes with a a product roadmap or a community 'what should we add?' board example so you can see exactly how it plays. Edit the questions and content to make it your own.

When you have more good ideas than you can build, the hard part is sequencing them — and a single “which feature do you want?” poll hides more than it reveals. This template scores every candidate on a must-have / nice-to-have / skip scale, so you see the intensity of demand, then adds one forced “ship this first” vote to surface the sharpest priority.

You leave with a demand matrix, not a single winner: what’s broadly loved, what’s narrowly adored, and what people want most when they can’t have everything. A what’s-missing box captures the ideas outside your list, so the roadmap keeps growing from real demand.

Demand, quantified

Rating each candidate turns vague enthusiasm into a number you can rank. Each respondent even sees their own “feature appetite” tallied live — a small payoff that puts Subo’s scoring on display, one of the features the data shows almost nobody discovers.

Variants

  • More candidates or categories: add rating blocks and group them under section headers.
  • Weighted by segment: ask role or plan first and weight power-user demand differently.
  • Public request board: make write-in requests visible to build a lightweight Canny-style board.
  • Value vs. effort: clone twice to build a value/frequency matrix.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from a single feature poll?

A one-pick poll hides the second-place feature that most people also wanted. Rating every candidate gives you the intensity of demand — broadly loved versus narrowly adored — and the forced 'ship one' vote adds the priority signal on top.

What's the 'feature appetite' score?

It's each respondent's total across the ratings, shown back to them at the end. It's the engagement hook; your real output is the per-feature demand distribution.

Can members request features that aren't listed?

Yes. The what's-missing box captures ideas outside your candidate list, so the survey doubles as a request board.

Does it work for a community, not just a product?

Yes. Reframe the candidates as community additions (events, channels, activities) for a 'what should we add?' board.
