Medium Priority Requests

1. Zendesk Integration

Category: Integration
Urgency: MEDIUM (4 customers requested - clear demand pattern)
Requested by: 4 customers

Why It’s Medium Priority:

• Multiple customer requests indicate demand pattern
• Workflow enhancement for support teams
• Common enterprise integration expectation
• Improves operational efficiency

Recommended Description for Backlog:

Title: Zendesk Integration for Support Workflows
Description: Integrate with Zendesk to sync customer data and support workflows. 4 customers have requested this integration, indicating a clear demand pattern. Use case: Support teams need unified customer context between product and ticketing system. Implementation should include bi-directional sync for tickets, customer profiles, and activity tracking.
Category: Integration
Priority: P2 (Medium - multiple requests from customers, workflow enhancement)
Stakeholder: 4 customers (via support requests)
Business Impact: Improve support team efficiency, better customer context, reduce tool-switching friction
Estimate: 2-3 weeks for API integration and bi-directional sync
Success Metrics: Support team adoption, reduced ticket resolution time, customer satisfaction

Lower Priority Requests

2. Dark Mode UI Theme

Category: Enhancement
Urgency: LOW (8 users requested, nice-to-have feature)
Requested by: 8 users

Recommended Description:

Title: Dark Mode Theme Option
Description: Add dark mode theme toggle for users who prefer dark interfaces. 8 users have requested this feature, showing some demand but without urgency signals. Modern UX expectation and user comfort feature that improves accessibility for users who prefer reduced eye strain or work in low-light environments.
Category: Enhancement
Priority: P3 (Low - user preference, no business urgency, workaround exists)
Stakeholder: 8 users (via feedback/requests)
Business Impact: Improved user experience, meets modern UX expectations, accessibility enhancement
Estimate: 3-4 weeks (full UI theming work across all components)
Dependencies: May require Tailwind dark mode setup, theme state management

3. Export to CSV Feature

Category: Export/Data
Urgency: LOW (single user request)
Requested by: 1 user

Recommended Description:

Title: Export Data to CSV Format
Description: Add CSV export functionality for data tables and reports. Single user requested this feature for data portability and external analysis use cases (Excel, spreadsheet tools). Common data export format for business intelligence and reporting workflows.
Category: Export/Data
Priority: P3 (Low - single request, no urgency, low volume signal)
Stakeholder: 1 user
Business Impact: Data portability, enables external analysis, removes friction for data-driven users
Estimate: 1 week (basic CSV generation from existing data structures)
Technical Notes: May need to handle large datasets, consider streaming for performance

Recommended Prioritization (Top 3 for Next Quarter)

Q1 2025 Priorities:

1. Zendesk Integration - 4 customer requests showing demand pattern, improves support workflows (start Q1)

Defer to Q2+ or Monitor:

• Dark Mode - Nice-to-have with 8 user requests, but no business urgency. Monitor request volume - if it reaches 15-20 users, reconsider priority
• CSV Export - Single request with no pattern. Defer until more users request or specific business case emerges

Strategic Observations

Integration Demand Signal

Zendesk is the only request with multiple customers (4), indicating it’s the clearest priority among these three features. The 4-customer threshold suggests real workflow friction that integration would solve.

Recommendation: Prioritize Zendesk for next quarter as a quick win to address multiple customers with one feature.

Low-Urgency Feature Mix

All three requests lack critical urgency signals (no lost deals, no churn threats, no executive directives). This indicates a relatively healthy product with users requesting enhancements rather than fixes.

Recommendation: These are “nice-to-have” improvements suitable for filling capacity between high-priority work. Consider dark mode as a “polish sprint” item when engineers need a break from complex features.

CSV Export Pattern to Watch

Single CSV export request is too low to act on now, but track this category. If 3-5 more users request data export features, it may signal a broader need for data portability (API access, bulk exports, etc.).

Recommendation: Monitor export-related requests. If pattern emerges, consider broader data export strategy.

Next Steps

This Week:

1. ✅ Confirm Zendesk integration requirements with the 4 customers (specific use cases, workflows)
2. ✅ Engineering: Scope Zendesk API integration (authentication, data models, sync strategy)
3. ✅ Product: Validate dark mode demand - check analytics for users with system dark mode enabled
4. ✅ Product: Add CSV export request to backlog monitoring list (track volume)

Next Sprint:

1. Create detailed spec for Zendesk integration (API endpoints, data flow, error handling)
2. Design Zendesk integration UI/UX (settings, sync controls, status indicators)
3. Deprioritize dark mode and CSV export unless new urgency signals emerge
