Aha! Roadmaps review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Aha! Roadmaps to capture ideas from end users, manage communications internally and externally, prioritize features and plan releases. The business problem it addresses is that there was no central platform/channel that manages all the ideas and feature requests, there could be duplicate work and effort within the product team.
Pros
- Gather user submission, has different ways of sorting.
- Manage comments for internal and external.
- Idea votes help a lot on the feature prioritization.
Cons
- Building customized report and dashboard.
- For a large portfolio, navigating through hundreds of records can be time consuming.
- Export functionality can be improved.
Return on Investment
- Improved strategic alignment and visibility
- Increased efficiency in planning and communication
- Higher platform and maintenance cost

Usability
Love using this product
Pros
- Ideas portal for internal as well as external
- An easy way to present your roadmap without having to build a new PowerPoint deck should something change.
- Integration with third-party products is simple.
- Their support staff is excellent, always available, and all former product managers, so their domain knowledge is unmatched.
Cons
- The roadmap feature presentation web page could use some better visuals. It's a little bland and grey.
- The mobile app only shows you what you are assigned. I am not able to manage through the mobile app--I need to use the web page.
Return on Investment
- It has been able to deliver a good overall view of all the items we have going on in ADO.
- We are in the process of transforming from waterfall to agile development and to be able to see an overall picture of the work items is invaluable.
