What is kanosurvey.com?

Kanosurvey.com is an online software that lets you perform kano analysis on the features you want to develop. This is my attempt to contribute to agile community and to change the world (help users get the software that they need, help developers do less, but only the right things and to eliminate waste). The website was built after I read the Mike Cohn's book Agile estimating and planning.

What is kano analysis?

Kano analysis (named for its inventor, Dr. Noriaki Kano) is a quality measurement tool which is used to determine which features/requirements are important. All identified features may not be of equal importance to all users. Kano analysis can help you rank requirements for different customers to determine which have the highest priority.

Here is really good article by Scott Sehlhorst to help you understand kanosurvey better and another primer written by Rik Dryfoos.

What is the process?

  1. Sign up for an account for free
  2. Click "Create new survey"
  3. Fill in survey title, and at least one question (a feature you want to test on your users)
  4. Add more features to test if you want (but you can also continue with one)
  5. Click "Save survey" (by default your survey is not activated and therefore not published online
  6. Click "List of surveys" and click on the survey title
  7. You will see the survey URL, which users will access in order to answer the questions
  8. You have to click the Activate button, so that the survey goes live
  9. Now distribute the survey URL to your test user panel, and see the answers coming in
