If you are doing simple tasks, and do not need to see Gantt dependencies, this can work for you. You likely know that other tools seem cumbersome already, and Meistertask is the opposite. If you like mind mapping, try combining this with Mindmeister by thhe same company to integrate your mind maps into actual project plans.

The best feature of productboard is organized features, it has a very simple structure and can be read and understood by anyone. If your roadmap is very dynamic and the executive team needs to be on top of it, productboard is the best application out there. But if you have a small product and features do not change very often, then maybe you can look at other alternatives since productboard is expensive.

Pros
  • The learning curve is really short compared to other software that is related to this.
  • It is very easy to manage several projects at the same time, thus saving time in the work process.
  • Managing the elements of the list is very comfortable since its interface allows everything to work in an orderly manner based on what I want to put as important for me.
  • It has versions that are adapted to any type of company or if you want to give a personal use because it also has an option based on what you want to do with MeisterTask.

Cons
  • I really wish there was a tab to create a Gantt Chart on MeisterTask. This would be extremely helpful to track the progress of a project as a whole.
  • Some of the controls are not intuitive. For instance, you can select an individual person to see only their respective tasks, which is super helpful. But, to unselect that person and go back to the overview, you have to refresh the page and then hit the back button. This is super inconvenient to do every time.
  • One other feature I wish was included it a "percentage complete" tracker that showed what percentage is done with each task people are on.

  • 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

MeisterTask is a great app for tracking your to-dos and manage your team. You can track the time you spent on each task and it's a nice design. Good mobile app too, that helps keep everyone informed about the event and the task that need to be done and who is taking care of what task.

I have previously used Aha another product road mapping/ insights driven software. Aha had great features for the userbase of my previous products. They were allowed to create their own suggestions for the products and other users could then like or dislike the suggestion. This created a real reflection on need for product enhancements. productboard handles this slightly differently. Each user creates their own suggestions and doesn't necessarily have visibility on other users suggestions. The product/ R&D team can then tag suggestions together into the same overall suggestion. This requires more input from product/R&D with productboard. I would however, suggest that productboard is better than Aha. Aha is great for an external user point of view; however, there may be case for users to not have visibility on wider user requirements. productboard keeps more of this element hidden and would perhaps stir up less negative correlation to seeing a system requirement/suggest having had a lot of traffic and no action, compared to a more closed system that would individually update each user on the enhancement progress.
