What happens to my feature request after I submit it?
After submitting a Feature request to a Support team, it will be transferred to the Product Owner for review.
It will take 3-4 weeks until the Product Owner reviews the request and decides whether it meets all criteria to be listed on the Productboard.
In case:
Feature request is not clear enough
Some information is missing
Request is impracticable
The Product Owner believes that the requirement does not fully match the vision of the product
It won’t be put to Productboard immediately, and the Product Owner will inform a Support team member, who will continue a discussion with you on the initial ticket.
Otherwise, a feature request will be posted on Productboard and available for voting and commenting, and you will be informed about it on the initial ticket.
How can I provide insight/vote on feature requests?

How can I escalate my feature request as it is essential?
You can escalate the feature request the same way as described in Escalating Ticket section on the Wiki page. The only difference from the usual bug ticket escalation is that the development of feature requests will be charged at already-formed prices.
The feature request that has escalated, if marked valid and approved by the Product Owner, will be located in the Release section of the Productboard portal and not put for voting in the Under Consideration section.

In order for the request to be moved from Under consideration to In progress status, the following criteria should be met:
