10. Browsing wasn't a "release defining feature".

Fri Oct 25, 2013, 12:00 PM

Oct 2013

When a SW project has a "hard deadline", certain features are labeled "release defining". These are the features that must exist for the system to perform its PRIMARY goals. These are the features that must exist when you "go live".

For this system, release defining features would be the ability to sign up, compare plans along with the relevant and actual subsidies, and then submit one's choice.

"Browsing" is not required to perform those tasks. Its a great feature to include, people will like it, and you'd like to have it, but with a "hard deadline", its not a required feature for making the "go live" decision.

Or ... if folks prefer, its really a big conspiracy so that no one will ever really know how much the plans will cost. Never ever.

Until they add the browse feature in a couple months or so.
