“The best products are always created by putting the user at the heart of the development process. It means product management shouldn’t be done in isolation, sitting in a corner and coming up with ideas. There needs to be a collaborative approach. Bringing everyone on that journey was important to me and I needed a tool to be able to do that.”
“Productboard changed the culture inside our company and the relationship people have with the product teams. Before Productboard, our teams had to respond more reactively to the needs of the day. Productboard has added structure to our workflows, so we have more time to review data and user insights before making important decisions.”
“As a division, we were thinking, ‘If we move this person over there, we lose all of their rich knowledge about their product and the market because it’s locked in their heads.’ Productboard helps us get that information out of people's heads, reducing this friction when promoting internal candidates and letting them pursue exciting career growth opportunities.”
“Productboard is a great tool, but it’s how you operationalize it that makes it so useful. We have a diligent process around how requests come in and all of our teams follow this process. This is simply not possible if you’re using Google Sheets.”
“The look and feel of Productboard makes it so much easier to understand quickly what the product initiatives are and when they are most likely going to happen, especially now that we are all working virtually.”
“Visualizing dependencies with Productboard saves our team and me lots of time and focus. Leveraging the dependencies feature was a game-changer, especially for our leadership team. We quickly see where other teams are progressing, and feedback relevant to our product or surface area without a single Slack message.”
“We started to brief Dar on our product strategy and roadmap by showing her our big ugly spreadsheet. As she shared her vision for what product management could be like going forward, it became very apparent very quickly how difficult it was going to be to manage the process using our current tools. We needed a better way.”
“Mindset, process, tools – Productboard was the enabler at Invoice2go for an experienced team to focus, prioritize and accelerate the business towards further growth.”
“We were hoping that not only would we be able to find a good way to document and have a consistent way to present our roadmap, but that we would be able to find tools that would make it easier for us to get customer feedback, prioritize it and trace it all the way through the whole process.”
“We're really using Productboard for our strategic planning and visioning discovery of the products, and for basic prioritization — how we decide what to build.”
“We're not creating a new system of record with Productboard, but we're extending the functionality of the assets we already have. With that approach, Engineering really embraced it.”
“We had so many sources of incoming user feedback that being able to manage it all in a meaningful way was challenging. This is one of the reasons why we started using Productboard. It really helped us funnel all these inputs into one place, see trends, and make better product decisions.”
“All the feedback captured in Productboard serves as a valuable foundation for our research activities. It often serves as a starting point for further exploration.”
“This is the story of Willow going from being a startup into a more focused, organized, product-led organization that will scale and grow. A key part of that is going to be Productboard.”
“We don't want a technical, dev-driven tool to communicate what we're going to work on. That's great for the devs, but it's not good for showing a clear roadmap.”
