At the UPA Boston conference, Bryn Dews and Thom Brando discussed their open-source prioritization game.

It is often difficult to get users to prioritize a list of features. In order to set priorities, Dews and Brando came up with a monopoly like game.

• Provide users with “money” and have them “buy” features.
• Ask users, “What’s it worth to you?”
• Utilize 100 dollars in “bills”
• Pilot tested the game using a physical board, then created an open-source online game
• The game allows you to input and describe features, let users “buy” features, and write-in features as well as suggestions.
• The game and installation instructions can be found here: http://mysite.verizon.net/thombrando/features
