Overall Satisfaction with ProductPlan

ProductPlan is used by our Product Management team with a little support from the Tech team. The tool is specifically built for visualizing and managing your road map better. For Product teams with a size greater than 5, this tool allows everyone to think and strategize together. Apart from road maps, it follows agile methodologies and has a good foundation for idea management.
  • Excellent road-mapping and visualization.
  • Can directly sync to/from JIRA.
  • Building a road map is very intuitive because of the in-app tutorial.
  • Dragging and dropping is not effective.
  • Absence of rollback feature.
  • Absence of offline mode.
  • Positive - Maintaining a singular vision and adhering to it. Hence, better product/ product features.
  • Positive - Easy to use for basic functionalities and smoother integration with JIRA. Hence, no on-boarding cost or delays.
  • Positive - Easier to communicate with Technology Team. Hence, larger view for different department from a single source .
ProductPlan is a direct competitor to Aha!. Whereas JIRA and Trello are for mostly handling the operational tasks, ProductPlan and Aha! are for strategizing. ProductPlan is very well suited to give straight communication on what to achieve in the future and why. JIRA and Trello are the tools managing how to achieve those tasks.
ProductPlan is well suited if your Product team size is greater than 5. In that case, communication becomes a strong suit to grow. ProductPlan gives each member the idea of future, how well it is aligned with the overall strategy. It allows everyone to be on the same page. But, for newborn product team, this tool might overdo the things and will take efforts which could be useful somewhere else.
