Customer feedback drives product improvement but needs systematic handling to be actionable. GitScrum's feedback collection, categorization, and prioritization features help teams capture user insights, connect them to development work, and close the loop by shipping improvements that matter to customers.

Feedback Prioritization Matrix
SCORING CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
For each request, score 1-5 on each dimension:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ FREQUENCY: How many customers asked? │
│ 1 = One customer │
│ 5 = 50+ customers or major segment │
│ │
│ IMPACT: How much does it affect them? │
│ 1 = Minor inconvenience │
│ 5 = Can't use product without this │
│ │
│ REVENUE: Business impact potential? │
│ 1 = No clear revenue connection │
│ 5 = Key to major deal or retention │
│ │
│ STRATEGIC: Aligned with product vision? │
│ 1 = Not aligned │
│ 5 = Core to strategy │
│ │
│ EFFORT: Implementation cost? │
│ 1 = Months of work │
│ 5 = Hours of work │
│ │
│ SCORE = (Freq + Impact + Revenue + Strategy) │
│ × Effort │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
PRIORITY THRESHOLDS:
Score 60+: Consider for next sprint
Score 40-59: Add to quarterly review
Score <40: Backlog or decline
