Be Communities Ideas

Hi Jon,

Thank you very much for reaching out. As Oto mentioned, you can find the idea link by accessing it directly via https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ (like this one that you submitted: https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ideas/MS-I-414).

But I fully agree with you, it would be great to easily share the link directly from the embedded UI, so I have shared your idea with Aha: https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/A-I-10934.

Best regards,

That's not even a "Bentley Idea" - that's an entirely different website that wants my email address. I'm not going to sign up for every website under the sun. Vote for me, will you?

Hello Mary,

Thank you for reaching out. As mentioned a few months back, multiple Bentley products roadmaps are now managed or are in the migration process to be managed in Aha (https://www.aha.io/), which is one of the market leading Product Management tools. Ideas shared via https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ideas can be more easily linked with ongoing planning, existing projects and/or bugs/enhancements items.

So far, our hypothesis that the current portal would help accelerate ideas consideration, feedback, planning and eventual delivery has proven to be correct. Since the migration back in January 2021 we have reviewed more than 180 ideas, covering all ideas that have 15 or more votes. This is a considerable improvement on ideas feedback compared to our previous tool. We have also received positive feedback from multiple users regarding the quicker feedback and consideration.

But we are aiming at improving this even further and accelerating even more the process of reviewing your ideas and making sure they are part of the product planning process.

I hope this helps. And thank you again for reaching out.

Best regards,

Eduardo L

Just curious - is LumenRT one of these products? (I ask because the traditional requests for development tend to fall on deaf ears these days) - eg; https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_visualization/f/visualization-forum-1977638070/207198/lumenrt-update-15 and communities.bentley.com/.../lumenrt---orthographic-projection

I thought "Ideas" is meant for new features, how is that can be linked to "bug"s? 

Hello Max,

Thank you very much for reaching out. I have shared your question with the LumenRT Product Management team.

Hello Tuan,

Thank you for reaching out. You are absolutely right, ideas are meant to be new features, workflows or services, which usually equate to enhancements or epics in software development lingo. However, we have seen a few ideas over the years that are either entirely or partially driven by existing functionality limitations or defects, hence we can also link ideas to these items in our backlog.

I hope this helps.
