Run a feature request board
that stays useful as volume grows.

A feature request board is only valuable if it stays organized. These operating habits keep signal high as your community grows.

Set norms on day one

Pin a post explaining voting, duplicates, and that votes inform — not dictate — the roadmap.

Tag ruthlessly

Use a small tag set (area, plan, platform). Too many tags become noise.

Promote carefully

Only move well-understood, strategic items to Planned. Under consideration is your buffer against over-promising.

Celebrate ships

Changelog + voter email turns the board into a community, not a complaint box.
