Buy a Feature

Description

“Buy a Feature” is a method used in product development and decision-making processes. It involves assigning a virtual or budgeted currency to each participant, such as play money or tokens, and presenting them with a list of potential features or items to prioritize. Participants then “buy” the features they consider most valuable or important using their allocated currency. The features with the highest investments are prioritized for development or implementation.

This method is valuable because it encourages active participation and collaboration among participants, helping to surface their preferences and priorities in a visual and interactive manner. It also provides a transparent way to allocate resources, as participants must make trade-offs and decisions based on their perceived value of each feature.
