Release Notes

Introduction  

 There are two components of the prioritization process for software changes to NMLS:

• Enhancement prioritization process - the mechanism for which features get prioritized; and​
• Release prioritization process - the mechanism for which these prioritized features and other software changes get prioritized for a System release.
  
  

Enhancement Prioritization Process​

Potential enhancements are identified from a number of different sources including:

• NMLS Ombudsman
• Regulatory and Industry Working Groups
• Feedback from the NMLS Call Center
• Open Forum Conference Call
• SRR Staff
• Training Sessions with State Agencies and Industry Representatives
• Surveys; including Annual Regulatory and Industry Prioritization Surveys
  
• Unsolicited Feedback via Email/Phone​​
  
  

Release Prioritization Process

Determining the content of a specific System release must take many factors into consideration. Sources considered when comprising the content of a release include:

• Technology Improvements
• Problem Reports
• Top General Enhancements
