Roadmunk

We replaced Trello with Roadmunk for our Roadmapping purposes. For the poor Product Manager and Product Team that is incessantly asked "where is the product roadmap" by Sales and Management, this is the tool for you! Easy, simple, and makes pretty pictures for those constituents. It is less useful for full Requirements documentation. "Ideas" is OK, but too hard to get submissions from non-Roadmunk users, and clunky integration back to the primary road mapping function. Needs an improved editing environment to fully express Reqs using this tool, but it's not that far off!

• Allows us to easily customize swimlanes based on audience and task

• The fact that you have to add a date to everything; dates stick to people’s minds.
• Connecting bars to milestones; unclear which to use when.
• Collaboration isn’t great; can’t track changes, add comments, etc.

Performance has improved meaningfully over the last 12 months or so, especially in our views that contain many roadmap items. Some challenges remain, however, particularly when changing the timeline and in scenarios of multiple users interacting with the roadmap simultaneously.

We never really had to go back to Roadmunk for support, but they do provide a wealth of informative updates that can be consumed at the individual user's own pace.

We've used Google Calendar, Microsoft Office products, Trello, and others. Roadmunk seems to combine the best of all of those, and then offers a little more.

• Def saves us HOURS per quarter probably 50 man-hours per year re: automated visualizations vs. yoga poses trying to use Excel, JIRA, PowerPoint, Visio, etc.
