> Also known as innovation through understanding, this program is an
opportunity for Sendero GPS users to influence the features, which will be
included in versions 4.0. There are far more features than we have time to
include in a new release. This Buy A Feature program involves users in the
difficult process of evaluating trade offs and prioritizing features
important to them individually and perhaps more globally. Here is how it
works.
>
> At the LAX Marriott Suite 1718, CSUN, Thursday, March 22, 9-11 AM, the
first Sendero Buy a Feature meeting will be held in conjunction with the
Sendero on-line chat. Space is limited to 10 on the chat site and 10 people
in person. In an effort to have a cross section of beginner and advanced
users, Sendero will determine the selection of participants. Please indicate
Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced skill when you sign up. Each participant
who contributes the entire time, will receive a $25 Sendero gift
certificate.
>
> Each participant will be allocated an equal number of points. Each
potential feature will be valued according to our estimate of how much time
and effort it will take to implement. The total number of points will
represent the amount of development time available before version 4.0 is
released for final testing. The points allocated to each participant will be
a function of the total available points divided by the number of
participants.
>
> A list of annotated features will be distributed. Participants will have
the opportunity to hear a description of each feature including discussion
among the group and then given an opportunity to spend their feature points
for their favorite features. Participants may lobby others to invest in his
or her favorite feature.
>
> After all the features have been discussed, participants will review their
notes to prioritize their favorite features. Each priority list will be
given to Sendero. A discussion will then ensue as features are purchased.
Once a feature is purchased, participants can move on to the purchase of
other features until all their points are spent.
>
> Sendero Group development will give serious consideration to the
priorities determined from these sessions. Which features end up being
included in Sendero GPS version 4.0 will be a function of the real amount of
time and complexity associated with implementing all features. The Buy A
Feature event will certainly help determine which features are included in
Sendero GPS Version 4.0.
