Craft vs. productboard

Craft is really well suited for any size design team - I have used it within a team of 3, and within a team of 30. It helps with collaboration within the team, and between external teams through 'sync' with Invision. It increases efficiency of using Sketch with things like 'data', 'duplicate', and 'stock'. These tools not only make designing faster, but also more realistic, allowing us to 'test' our designs sooner.

The best feature of productboard is organized features, it has a very simple structure and can be read and understood by anyone. If your roadmap is very dynamic and the executive team needs to be on top of it, productboard is the best application out there. But if you have a small product and features do not change very often, then maybe you can look at other alternatives since productboard is expensive.

Craft was originally developed in response to ExpressionEngine's shortcomings. While ExpressionEngine has caught up in some regards, it still looks and feels a bit unpolished by comparison. Additionally, ExpressionEngine's vendor has never gotten UI right - not on their website, nor in their CMS. Craft remains easier to use, more polished and provides a wider feature set in its base install (without needing plugins). As for WordPress - while I recognize its massive popularity, I find its reliance on themes, third-party plugins, along with security shortcomings, make it a poor fit for the larger custom projects we build. On the other hand, if you want to throw up a passable website in a day, you can't beat WordPress.

Productboard has a modern interface with a great user experience that will help you get onboard really fast especially if you are looking for one place to handle customer insights that are coming from different places and be able to score and report under value vs effort frameworks, and build roadmap views for different stakeholders for the company.

• Easy to keep track of notes in a more structured way than a long single document that gets added to over time.
• Great for sharing with collaborators.
• Allows for quick draft creation which produces better final documents.

Incentivized

• ProductBoard is expensive, per user/month so ROI is not that great
• It is very useful the organization to view the roadmap
• It is mainly useful if someone dedicated (depending on the size of the product) is keeping it updated.
