 Customer Success & Service Excellence
What happens once a request is received?

Requests typically fall into one of four categories:

Bugs: These requests are treated with the highest level of urgency. Once Farias team
replicates and confirms the report, its escalated to the development team. Once the fix
deploys, the support team tests and confirms the fix before sending a notification back to the
user. Within 24 hours

Farias globally distributed staffing structure ensures a fast response, typically within 24 hours.

Feature Requests: Schools often provide the team with ideas for new features or suggestions
for improvements. A record of requests are kept on Farias internal project management
system so that the team can prioritize new features based on the number of requests received.
The support team meets with the project management team once a month to select which 1 week - 1 year
new features will be added to the product road map and to provide an update regarding (for approved requests)
existing development projects. In time, the majority of major and common requests are
implemented.

Bulk Process Requests: Direct assistance for all bulk imports. When a request is received, the
support team reviews the import files to ensure the data is clean, then sends the request
Within 24 hours
(for standard imports)
forward to the Data Team, which manages all import requests. All imports are completed
within 24-48 hours, with a clean file posted back to the user for reference. The only exception
is standards and scope and sequence imports. These typically take longer as the team Up to 1 week
reformats customer files into an import-ready format. (per subject)

General Support Questions: This covers all other support requests and the majority of requests
received. FAQ include Forgot where to access a specific button?, Need help adding a single
new teacher? , Cant figure out why a teachers name is not showing on your report card?, Within 24 hours
Want advice on the best way to roll ManageBac out for parents?, etc

 Product Roadmap
Product Roadmap hosted on Trello provides an overview of features scheduled for implementation.
Each feature card on the Product Roadmap is categorically labelled and contains key benefits to users
and feature descriptions

Review and Updates

Product Roadmap will be reviewed on a

monthly basis. At that time features that
have been schedule for implementation
will be added. Completed items will be
updated with links to tutorials, blog posts,
and other relevant release information.

Prioritisation of Features

Order of implementation is decided

based on urgency of features with
respect to schools yearly schedules.
Our aim is to match schools yearly
stages (Registration, Examination,
Reporting) in order to implement
features with the highest relevance and most immediate benefits

Features relating to recent curriculum changes will have a higher priority in order to keep up with IBO and other Examination
Boards standards.
