Every idea for a feature begins as a Spark. The bright flash of concept that someone on our team has or an idea that is brought to us that we feel is worth exploring.

Once the feature is ready for launch, we will slowly roll it out to a few of our Pathfinder stores to test its performance in the real world. This is to make sure our team gets a chance to the feature work for a real store, under actual live conditions. If for whatever reason the feature doesn’t live up to our expectations, or our Pathfinder Stores have significant feedback, then we may need to bump the feature back to the Developing Phase to make sure we get it right. One of our primary goals is stability, and this gives us a chance to test that. Some features may also be held here to package together or for timed launches.
