Ever wonder how our LMS is developed? In this episode of The BizLibrary Podcast, BizLibrary Product Owner Blake Ryan joins us to discuss how changes are made to our LMS.

Through the process of agile development, our developers are able to quickly implement changes and implement new and suggested features.

Blake talks about one of our latest features - gamification. Through the agile development process, the team was able to introduce a minimum viable product, and implement improvements and features based on user feedback.

By approaching the implementation of new features like gamification with agile development, our developers are easily able to identify priority improvements and understand what potential features are valuable, and which potential features might be less valuable.

This means that development time is always being used wisely.

This approach is scalable for large organizations and isn't only useful for the development process. This concept can improve A/B testing in marketing and sales, and can even be applied to your customer service or success model.

We also asked Blake about upcoming features we could anticipate in 2019. Blake let us know that the first improvement would be made to assignments. With this latest feature, administrators will be able to create assignments to teams based on geographical locations. This will provide immediate benefits, including the ability to more easily comply with laws that may vary state by state.
