About this plugin
Keeping a list of all the feature requests you get from your users can be a cumbersome task. Maybe you’re managing your customer feedback all via spreadsheet and adding “+1″s to requests? Perhaps you’re using an expensive third party solution?
Whatever method you use, chances are it costs you time AND money.

Pro Feature Highlight: Product Roadmap
Simple Feature Requests makes it easy to create a comprehensive product roadmap based on the customer feedback you’ve received.
Our roadmap shortcode presents your product’s requests in a kanban view, organized by request status.
You can configure which status columns to display in the roadmap and use the shortcode multiple times throughout your website.
A product roadmap is essential for any product-based business. It allows you to keep your users in the loop about upcoming features and when to expect them.
