How to turn a vague idea into a useful software request

A useful software request starts with the workflow, not the feature name. Describe what you are trying to do, where the current process breaks, and what happens when the problem is not solved.

Good requests include frequency, platform, current workaround, willingness to test, and whether the problem is personal, team-wide, or industry-wide.

VceSoftLab uses this context to group similar requests and decide whether a direction is specific enough to build, but broad enough to become a product.
