The Product Backlog is where you prioritize your features from most important to least important.
Appster estimates your project in ‘Story Points’ (think of story points as a value of effort assigned to a feature (User Story) of your project). We then ship feature by feature (based on your highest priority features first). You may start to realize that some of your lowest priority features aren’t as important as new ideas or changes you may want to make to improve the current product.
As long as these changes don’t go over the total allocated Story Points for your project, you can make these changes for free.
If you’d like to make a change at any point in the development process, simply notify your Producer and we will make changes to your product backlog accordingly. We can start on the new features as early as the next sprint (1 Week).
With industry standard development contracts, you are locked into a fixed scope of work that can’t change unless you pay for each change request.
