It is extremely scalable and affordable, we currently sync it with Jira AND Trello to improve communication between different IT departments from multiple platforms.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Initially, I stumbled upon airfocus as part of a product team evaluation of a number of different tools designed to make product prioritization and roadmapping a bit easier for our department. We evaluated a number of different SaaS options before settling on airfocus as one of several tools we would use to encourage collaboration not only among the product team but to help better communicate priorities with stakeholders within the company.

Pros

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.

Cons

Sharing of finished products (e.g., road maps) via downloading or PDF docs could be a bit less high touch than they currently are. The product works best when all stakeholders have a seat but not all stakeholders (i.e. non-product team members) like to work that way, exporting options for them could be better.
Customization (look & feel) options are pretty limited.
JIRA integration only works for JIRA in the cloud customers.

Airfocus is as well suited for large product teams that have several members working on the same product line as it is for a product team of one. For large teams, the collaboration tools that come in the out-of-the-box solution act as a huge timesaver. Frankly speaking, it will help eliminate a lot of resource-intensive face-to-face meetings. For individual managers, the visualization tools can really help organize disparate ideas into a cohesive product roadmap. One flaw of airfocus is that it fails to live up to its ultimate utility because–like many SaaS products–it is dependent on the entire team, to include all stakeholders, to buy into the solution if it is to be a true one-stop solution for product roadmapping. However, there is no denying it greatly helps in getting teams a little bit closer to the goal of effective collaboration.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Airfocus is a great tool overall. It allows us to organize product features and requests and prioritize them according to impact/effort and how we define each of those metrics. The visualizations are also great, as well as the fact that we can sync everything bi-directionally with asana, our tasking tool.

Pros

Visualizations
Roadmap views
Integrations
Custom impact/effort logic

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a product manager who has a lot of feature requests from various teams and want to prove out why your roadmap is built the way it is to your board or execs, airfocus is a perfect tool to do that.
