Use Cases and Deployment Scope

productboard is used in our organisation to manage product roadmaps, suggestions for product insights and to spec out features and enhancements for our products.

It provides a platform for the R&D team to not only capture suggestions but visualise what that would look like in terms of development hours.

I am an end user for suggestions and insights but have some visibility on the wider product when assisting with the R&D team

Pros

  • Capturing Insights
  • Focus Bubbles for Insight hit markers
  • Grouping/Tagging suggestions together

Cons

  • The interface could be improved
  • Input field options could be less restrictive to the capture of data
  • Better notifications / updates on where insights have got to

Return on Investment

  • Solidified our Product Roadmap processes
  • Project labour time has become quantified not theorised
  • Quantified reflection on use case numbers

Alternatives Considered

Aha! Roadmaps, Microsoft Access and Google Sheets

Other Software Used

Sales Cookie, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft SharePoint, Calendly, Continia Expense Management, KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
