I find customer interviews most helpful when it comes to this. Whatever active users might need is likely to improve our platform as a whole.
What are your alternate methods of identifying new features to add on your products?

Are you asking about feature prioritization or writing feature descriptions for developers?

@tonyzorin hi Anton thank you for your response, I'm talking about deciding which features to develop before those stages.

@deniz_sutas Ahh, okay. In this case, it boils down to research. Define ICP (ideal customer profile), and research the problem and the market. Customer feedback is a crucial part of it.

@taylah_drury I'll be non-promoting myself :)
I also think user interviews are effective. However, I think we need to interview a large number of users to collect reliable data. And we need to focus on common opinions.
@anna_choi definitely, the more the better. Still, a few consistent anecdotes from a handful of loyal users would be valuable I think.

Create user stories and prototypes to test and validate new features before implementation.

Well, we like to throw darts at a whiteboard full of potential features and see what sticks. Just kidding, we also listen to customer feedback and conduct extensive research on industry trends. But the dart idea is still on the table... 😂✋🚀
@realvladgolub sounds fun, probably not as much for the developers though :D

@deniz_sutas Nothing seems fun for devs, you guys are too serious ahahhahahahah
