Aha! Roadmaps is widely used by product management, engineering, and management teams for managing the product backlog and roadmap. The software's integration with other tools like Jira, Azure Dev Ops, Microsoft Teams, and Mavenlink project management enables seamless collaboration among different teams. Users appreciate the ideas portal feature in Aha! as it allows customers to enter and vote on ideas, guiding the development process to meet business needs effectively. With its ease of use in collecting and organizing features, Aha! simplifies the process for product managers, who find the learning curve for basic features quite straightforward.

The tool is particularly valued by product management teams for visualizing product roadmaps and managing dependencies efficiently. Its integration with Jira facilitates easy task tracking and updates, streamlining workflows for non-technical marketing teams. Aha! provides various helpful features such as visual orientation, internal linking capabilities, Gantt charts, and timeline mapping that aid in better planning and organization. By enabling users to track upcoming and current work across multiple teams within the entire organization, Aha! addresses the business problem of coordinating and managing efforts effectively. It allows product managers to associate each feature with its value to the organization and customers, setting it apart from other similar tools in the market. Additionally, Aha! serves as a platform for documenting product strategy, prioritizing initiatives, creating and tracking roadmaps, and communicating outcomes to engineering teams. IT and code-related functions also utilize Aha! to manage software releases, bug fixes, and ticket requests seamlessly.

Comprehensive Product Management Suite: Many users have found Aha! Roadmaps to be a comprehensive product management suite that excels in breaking down product plans into initiatives, features, and user stories. This feature helps the organization understand the product plan and the driving factors behind individual work items.

Effective Prioritization: Aha! stands out from project management tools like Jira by providing prioritization based on major themes, features, and releases. Users appreciate this feature as it allows them to organize and prioritize features effectively, making it difficult to go back to a traditional project management tool.

Idea Management Portal: Aha! is particularly useful for idea management. It offers a portal for users to submit ideas and manage them through a workflow. Some users appreciate that ideas can be submitted through various channels, including email, ZenDesk, and SalesForce. The ability to attach account values to ideas submitted through SalesForce is also appreciated.

Difficulty with Jira Mapping: Users have reported difficulties mapping products to projects in Jira, especially for engineering teams working on multiple products. This issue has been mentioned by several reviewers and affects the seamless integration between Aha! Roadmaps and Jira.

Overvalued Idea Management Feature: Some users feel that the idea management feature is overvalued and unnecessary for many companies, requiring a large product management team and excess development capacity. This sentiment has been expressed by multiple reviewers who believe that this feature adds complexity without providing significant value.

Missing Capacity Planning Feature: The lack of a robust capacity planning feature is considered a major drawback. Several reviewers have stated that the current capabilities are only half-functional, requiring manual entry and lacking easy feedback and progress tracking. This limitation hinders effective resource allocation and project planning within Aha! Roadmaps.

Based on user reviews, here are the three most common recommendations for the software:

  1. It is important to have a strong governance process before implementing the software. Take the time to understand its functions and customize it to fit your business.

  2. The software is a comprehensive tool for managing products throughout their lifecycle. Fully evaluate it before making a judgment on its usefulness. It can be particularly beneficial for commercial financing aids, sales communication progress, marketing project management, strategy adjustment, and goal setting.

  3. Take advantage of integrations with other tools like Jira, but be prepared for some customizations not mapping perfectly. Make use of the free trial and support offered by the software. Be ready for a steep learning curve initially, as the software has many useful features like roadmaps and data analysis.

Overall, users recommend using this software to centralize product planning and roadmapping work, make informed decisions, keep stakeholders informed, and efficiently manage projects in an enterprise-level environment.

We currently use Aha! across all IT and Code related functions at my organization to manage all software releases and fixes for current and future work in the company. It helps us create, prioritize, track, and monitor all work related to bug fixes, ticket requests, and future code release work for our systems.
  • Track all software related work in one place
  • Great way to prioritize work based on requirements and urgency
  • Extremely scale-able
  • Requires some dedicated work to get up and running
  • Not as "pretty" as some tracking systems
  • Can be overwhelming if you don't use it frequently
For large organizations looking to manage and categorize a significant amount of ongoing work and backlogs, Aha! is an excellent resource and tool to manage everything and everyone in one place. It's easy to use and is a great tool to visualize what needs to be done and keep the work on track. Not necessarily recommended for smaller project-based work.
  • Helps make sure work is completed on time.
  • Since moving to Aha! we've seen a decrease in the amount of time it takes to complete upgrades and releases.
  • No more lost ticket requests or forgotten work.
Compared to some other types of software we've tested or use in other areas of the company Aha! has a better user interface, has more customization ability and grows with the company and the work we're doing.
We've always had excellent support whenever we need help from the company or need questions answered regarding the setup and installation of the product. Tickets are answered in a timely fashion and there's minimal back and forth to get issues resolved, which are rare.
If you have the time and resources there really isn't anything you can't get Aha! to do for you in regards to managing workflow and releases. The Prioritization features are top of its class, the dashboards are getting better and better every day and the team all seem to really enjoy using it to manage their workloads.

Our organization is using Aha! to help provide transparency across departments. We also use Aha! to collect information about competitors in a centralized location so all reps have access to the same up to date information regarding our competitive advantage.
  • One central location to collaborate among team members
  • So confusing to learn. Way too many options and easy to forget how to access what you are looking for.
While I love using Google Docs to collaborate, documents can easily become lost or stale. Aha! helps keep important information at the forefront of the conversation. That being said, it is extremely intimidating to view and there are way too many options to learn about. It's very confusing when you need to edit or add to a collaboration.
  • Keeps important information accessible and current
  • Way too confusing to learn
Google Drive is much easier to learn and use but Aha! is much better at keeping important information relevant.
  • None.
  • There are too many options to choose from.
The functionality is there, but it's intimidating to learn.
