airfocus vs. Jira Product Discovery

airfocus is a scalable platform, very useful for any organization, especially for our IT department since it facilitates decision making, helps to establish different priorities, and helps to execute your sprints easily in a simple and visual way.

It was great for handing off projects to Developers and give it into their hands especially by being able to connect to Product Board. Was tricky though sometimes going back and finding things when those backlogs get really lengthy and titles start not helping as much...etc.

• Product prioritization was made simple by compiling stakeholder input on projects to determine the proper order to execute differing projects. Priority poker-like features are a huge timesaver.
• Creating roadmaps could not be easier in airfocus. Creating new projects is intuitive and you can customize settings that allow you to automatically add projects to the overall roadmap. There are a number of choices for the roadmap templates also which is nice depending on individual product managers' needs and expertise.
• Perhaps the most useful feature(s) of airfocus are the collaboration tools. The ability to build out product roadmaps with the entire team's input saves countless hours of in-person prioritization meetings and has made refinement meetings with engineering team go much more smoothly.

• can get overwhelming with lines of data, maybe clean it up and split things more clearly?
• Lots of white on white and the UX can be kinda tricky to navigate
• Can almost have too many different ways to tag things where it can get really confusing, Simplifying might go a long way.

They answered every single question we had in a timely fashion and furthermore, they went out of their way to make sure we had all the time we needed to fully evaluate the product. I think the fact that they truly valued customer feedback to improve the product made them feel more like a partner then just an off-the-shelf solution

It's easy to use, it's customizable. It is ideal for managing multiple product lists, it is transparent and helps keep any work team centralized. It has an intuitive interface, special to track the time to our established goals.

productboard is my favorite, but that one is more Product oriented where Atlassian Jira Product Discovery seems more Dev focused so it is nice those tools compare. Azure is really nice in the UX and the way it presents the sprints and the stories in an easy manner. Atlassian Jira Product Discovery is great when creating the stories within itself and also works with productboard better than azure does currently.
