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's a great tool for early stage ideation and prioritization in order to get alignment across product, design, and engineering. It works really well when teams are trying to consolidate scattered ideas into one validated pipeline. The scoring model and ability to link ideas directly to our regular Jira makes it easy to prepare for roadmap views

• 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.

• Timeline view of ideas and the way you can group these into different views is fantastic.
• The ability to have connections to the main idea as sub ideas before reaching our delivery teams.
• Admin and feature controlls are great and getting even better.
• Recycling fields and goals from the other Atlassian products makes things easier to see and understand.

• Can be expensive to give everyone access
• Integrations could be more precise and powerful

• Advanced Reporting and Analysis: Reporting options are somewhat limited. It would be more helpful if it’s more customisable dashboards
• better Support for cross project visibility: it is challenging to see dependencies overlaps across different projects. It could’ve been improved
• More flexible roadmap customisations: Here customisation options are limited, formatting options could be improved

Jira Product Discovery is good because it offers a lot in the way of centralising processes for bug management and its intake. However, it is not going to score higher as it has limited reporting and integration features. It also isnt setup to give updates via email to case loggers which would be really good

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.

• We know exactly what the impact/effort is of our projects, so we don't waste time on projects or features that won't drive meaningful revenue or increased brand affinity.

Incentivized

• Shared understanding of goals has increased
• Management of large number of work items is good
• Sometimes if we dont manage it well it can get complex and people get lost.
