What is feature voting?
Feature voting is a method where users vote for the features they need most. This helps product teams make data-driven decisions.
Why SaaS products need feature voting
1. Users feel heard
When users can express their wishes and see them considered, satisfaction and retention increase.
2. Product decisions become transparent
The team can explain why certain features are prioritized: "80% of our users voted for this."
3. Fewer internal debates
Instead of subjective opinions, objective votes count. This saves time and reduces internal conflicts.
Best practices
- Keep the board public – transparency builds trust
- Allow comments – context matters more than raw vote counts
- Update statuses regularly – show that you deliver
- Use integrations – sync with Jira, Linear or GitHub
