Organize your future workload with ProdPad
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use ProdPad at present in 1 of 4 agile teams to help organize ideas for mobile banking. The other teams are planning to use it as well. However, on the front end, the entire organization has access to input ideas for the product owner to then sift through and decide if an idea, or groups of ideas, should be added to the backlog.
Pros
- It allows people to just throw Ideas up on the wall to see what sticks, without the hassle of email chains, meetings, notes, etc.
- It integrates with both TFS and Jira, which is handy to push Ideas into user stories, epics, and tasks. Saves time from copying and pasting.
- It's visually appealing so we can look at lists or chart view to spark team conversation of what to organize and pull into future sprints.
Cons
- The linking of fields between ProdPad and Jira isn't ideal, and leads to some duplication.
- The use of real estate on the Release view could be improved.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's definitely an improvement over our old Enhancements list that anyone could add to and just collected dust on a Share drive. ProdPad allows ideas to be sorted and archived, plus let's people comment on ideas - so it's pretty obvious is something is a good idea with lots of support or just some crackpot theory.
