56. Place Initial Items Any existing ideas or roadmap items are placed on the tree.

57. Playing the Game! Players collaborate in real-time to place features/benefits (leaves/apples) on the tree. An integrated chat facility enables you to understand player motivations. Players label and describe their ideas All information is recorded and available for analysis

58. Create Interpretations from the Results of Multiple Games Game 1 Results Game 2 Results Interpretation Game results are merged into a new game – which you can edit and shape, further process, or play with additional players.

59. Tabular Representation of Items for Post-Processing Layers and regions enable planners to quickly determine where players have placed their items. You can ask questions like “What are all of the features customers want in 2010?”
