There aren't really good rules of thumb. Would *YOU* pay for it? http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment6http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment6Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:44:12 GMTTonio Guzzi commented on Minimum Sellable FeaturesNice, interesting and clear Ayende, ...but how we can know the point of Minimum Sellable Features that maximize flow cash? This is an old max-min optmization problem for the economist: for him a solution is possible only after discovering the user's preference (and this is complex to do) http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment5http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment5Wed, 08 Dec 2010 16:36:37 GMTPatrick Smacchia commented on Minimum Sellable FeaturesNice book Ralf, going to buy it straight! http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment4http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment4Wed, 08 Dec 2010 16:28:15 GMTRalf Westphal commented on Minimum Sellable FeaturesThat´s along the line of "Software by Numbers", [www.amazon.com/.../0131407287](http://www.amazon.com/Software-Numbers-Low-Risk-High-Return-Development/dp/0131407287)http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment3http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment3Wed, 08 Dec 2010 14:57:59 GMTAyende Rahien commented on Minimum Sellable FeaturesSteven, Because most products have a TON of features. But you can start sell them, even if only in beta, very early. http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment2http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment2Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:35:07 GMTSteven commented on Minimum Sellable FeaturesNice and interesting read for anyone who's developing & selling software. "My rule of thumb is that Minimum Sellable Features should be about 5% of the Complete Features List" Just curious: how did you come to that number? http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment1http://ayende.com/4716/minimum-sellable-features#comment1Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:23:06 GMT
