Early Adopter Program
Early Adopter churches (EAs) partner with us to incubate new releases. They are expected and depended on to try out the new features and provide feedback. An Early Adopter church is a church that is dedicated to using MinistryPlatform extensively to support their ministry and giving back to the amazing community of MinistryPlatform churches.
As soon as Early Adopters are updated with the new release, they will:
- Review the release notes and Help Center topics updates for understanding.
- Test out new features and fixes.
- Report any questions or issues via the MinistryPlatform Community.
- Provide feedback on documentation and new features.
How It Works
- A release passes all internal testing and is ready to incubate.
- A Community post is shared in the Early Adopter space, including a link to release notes.
- Anyone who is unable to be an EA responds to the post to opt out. (If there is no reply, it is viewed as accepting to be an EA.)
- Once we are ready to deploy, an email is sent to participating Early Adopters with the deployment date.
- Early Adopter church systems are updated and receive an email that their deployment is complete.
- Early Adopters review and test new features and fixes.
- Early Adopters use the Community to report any issues or questions. We make every effort to fix these as soon as they're reported.
- Early Adopters use the Community to provide feedback on new features and help articles. Tell us what you really think! We rely on this to make MinistryPlatform better for all of our community.
How It Benefits You
Early Adopters get to:
- Be first to get exciting updates!
- Play around with shiny new features!
- Try to find things we missed! (MP is really flexible, so you might use things a little differently than we anticipated.)
- Have access to the private Early Adopters discussions!
