Case Study

Enterprise Software Feature Prioritization

Client:

Mid-market research firm supporting a B2B SaaS provider

Challenge:

The client sought external perspectives to evaluate multiple feature concepts for their enterprise product roadmap. Internal views were divided, and independent input was needed to guide decision-making.

Approach:

Nexus recruited 18 IT directors and product owners from financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. Three virtual focus groups were conducted, each lasting 90 minutes. Participants engaged with interactive demos of the proposed features and shared feedback on priorities, perceived value, and potential adoption considerations

Outcome:

The sessions provided structured insights into how enterprise stakeholders viewed the feature concepts. By facilitating moderated discussions across industries, Nexus delivered market-driven perspectives that informed the client’s strategic planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend 6-8 for consumer groups, 4-6 for B2B professionals. For senior executives or technical experts, dyads or triads often yield better depth.
