Incentivized
Dan Rinzel
Director of Product Management in Product Management at Echo 360 Inc (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • Allows us to easily customize swimlanes based on audience and task
  • Provides a visualization of resource load "weight" in a particular swimlane
  • Gives us a visual vocabulary to explain our agile process and its impact to customers

Cons

  • we don't use dates, only buckets. would like that choice to be a setting at the roadmap level so it doesn't need to be set for every single card
  • Roadmunk could be a great demo tool for slideware if it didn't shrink images attached to cards down to tiny thumbnails

Most Important Features

  • custom metadata fields
  • drag and drop
  • bulk card management

Return on Investment

  • Roadmunk has reduced the number of meetings that product needs to attend with customers by 20-25%
  • Roadmunk has eliminated a whole set of churn in our workstream management tool (JIRA) by abstracting the planning step away from the steps where we monitor work progress

Roadmapping with Roadmunk

Incentivized
Rob HarolView profile
Sr. Director, Emerging Products at Swagbucks, a Prodege Company in Product Management at PRODEGE, LLC (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Collaboration – Roadmunk makes it very easy to work and edit within a team structure.
  • User Experience – The usability of the product made it quite easy for the entirety of the team to hit the ground running (i.e. very little training was required).
  • Rollups – Each product line and therefore each product owner could easily focus on their particular roadmap without having to sort through the master roadmap making it highly efficient, while at the same time making it quite easy to pull all updates into one high-level document.

Cons

  • Simplicity – This is both a blessing and a curse for Roadmunk. On one hand, it is easy enough for anyone to use, on the other, it misses quite a bit of the nuance associated with individual tasks due to its cookie-cutter inputs.
  • Design – This layout gets the job done, but there is nothing flashy about what it does.

Return on Investment

  • Increased visibility into the department's work
  • Reduced time spent on weekly product updates
  • Drove more collaboration within the department
