ProdPad is best-in-class product management software for mature product teams

Jason Becker
CPO (Chief Product Officer) in Product Management at Allovue (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • Customer feedback collection and classification.
  • Push user stories as issues to GitHub or tickets to Jira or items in a Trello board.
  • Present a clear and easy-to-use roadmap to users internal or external at the organization.

Cons

  • More user-role driven views of the application would make it less daunting to non-product manager users.

Return on Investment

  • It has been easier to show people what we're working on, when.
  • It has been far easier to collect customer feedback and correlate common challenges and needs.
  • We now have one place for research and feature documentation.

Alternatives Considered

Basecamp, Trello and Aha!

Other Software Used

ProdPad takes the heavy lifting out of staying on top of feedback

Professional in Product Management (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • Allows you to collect and organize feedback.
  • Helps you group and weight that feedback to inform prioritization.
  • Facilitates the creation of ideas/epics based on direct user feedback/requests.

Cons

  • I'd like to see a better way to handle archived/won't do/already released feedback or ideas so that you have a bit of a history of requests and what has happened to them.

Return on Investment

  • Using ProdPad has helped our Product team avoid becoming a black hole for feedback and feature requests. This tool helps us be responsive and communicative about the data flowing into the product.

Alternatives Considered

Jira Software and Zendesk

Professional in Information Technology (501-1000 employees employees)

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.

Return on Investment

  • It's relatively cheap, so cost wasn't a huge issue.
  • Time savings are a definite win, as now we can avoid using meeting time to discuss initial ideas. People are just directed to add their ideas and let them be fleshed out in ProdPad before getting to a later dev stage.
