"ProductPlan is a very easy to use and effective tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ProductPlan?

ProductPlan allows you to build a roadmap very quickly. Using the GUI, you can build a roadmap in minutes. I also like the filtering aspect which allows you to create different views for different people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

I would like additional options on how to show multiple milestones. When I have a lot, it can be hard to see all of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Managing project and road mapping the work"

4.5/5

In my previous organisation, used this in managing the projects and road maps planning, as tracking each steps and product details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

sometimes its difficult to share the entire view with the teammates and project leaders, need to improve this particular feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New user - love it so far"

5/5

What do you like best about ProductPlan?

Before ProductPlan, we created our product roadmaps on PowerPoint which took forever and limited the level of detail we could add. Now, our roadmaps can be created, adjusted, and detailed as much as needed. I love the filtering capabilities, the tagging capabilities, and the ability to link items that are dependent on each other. Our roadmaps are stronger than ever thanks to having a real tool for the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

My biggest complaint lately has been that if I'm not the roadmap owner, I cannot make a copy of the roadmap. This is a pain and requires me to reach out to the owner whenever I need to iterate. I also wish that there were configurable custom fields we could add and then filter on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProductPlan:

Take advantage of the tags and other fields for adding more details. This makes it much easier to refine for specific viewers later on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProductPlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

ProductPlan is allowing us to easily create and update roadmaps with a strong level of detail - the filtering capabilities also ensure we are able to share relevant roadmap details with the people who need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool, fast editing and great for sharing"

5/5

What do you like best about ProductPlan?

The key feature for me was how quickly and pain-free I could create a Gannt chart style roadmap, then make edits as situations changed regarding our own product planning. All other tools I evaluated required excess data entry, often requiring backend data edits that drove the chart graphics. Here, you get right to it - and then there is so much more that adds value, such as being able to provide details that appear in tool-tips for viewers that roadmaps are shared with, export of roadmaps to files, and MS Teams integration, which has provided a handy way for us to share roadmaps as well as changes to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

Some minor things are rough around the edges here or there, but its all reasonably easy to work around and get what you need. As the admin for my team, I wish I had more control over some of visual and use aspects (more group policy). I also wish there was a way for us to pluck high-priority items from multiple roadmaps in our team, and show them in their own prioritized list - as this helps navigate bottlenecks in our product development or marketing processes. The ProductPlan folks have been very receptive to feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProductPlan:

There's simply nothing like it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProductPlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

The primary purpose served is to create and maintain product line plans to share with stakeholders in the company. While fundamentally a strategic purpose, these plans now also serve tactical needs by foreshadowing the allocation of engineering and marketing resources for managers.

ProductPlan affords easy web-based sharing that allows viewers to navigate an interactive roadmap rather than a hardcopy, as our previous tools forced us to use. Of course, export of hardcopies are still possible using PP, which is a bonus and required if you also need to track change over time (or see how roadmaps have changed).

"Excellent Solution for Company Roadmaps"

5/5

What do you like best about ProductPlan?

Our company loves how easy it is to use ProductPlan. The interface of the tool is very simple and intuitive. It is also powerful as well. There are just so many cool things you can do with the tool. Our company really likes the timeline view. When you create a roadmap, the timeline view lets you see your roadmap in a Gantt style view. The timeline view consists of swimlanes and bars. We use each swimlane to represent a release. We can customize the name of each release by renaming the swimlane. We also include the capacity (in story points) for each swimlane too. This is very helpful when we do capacity planning. We love how easy it was to transition from Microsoft Excel based roadmaps to web-based roadmaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

While the roadmaps are powerful, the portfolio feature (which combines roadmaps into a single view) could use some improvement. Nice features for future consideration may include selecting specific epics from linked roadmaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProductPlan:

If you use Jira and utilize epics, take advantage of ProductPlan's ability to sync data with Jira. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProductPlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company uses Jira to manage users stories. While Jira excels at project management at the micro level, it's a little bit lacking at the macro level. ProductPlan helps our Product Development team clearly communicate timelines and capacity planning to our executive leadership team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to learn and leverage!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ProductPlan?

I like how easy it was to get started in ProductPlan. We switched over from a different tool and had no issue transferring things over. Because of the platform's flexibility, we were able to set things up how we wanted and in a way that supported our business better than other tools had in the past. As we are continuing to use it and add different use cases, it has been so easy to create additional roadmap views and portfolio views to cater to a variety of internal stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

Currently, the portfolio view functionality is a little limited. We would like to have more flexibility to limit the information that makes it onto a given portfolio view and have the ability to customize it in ways that are different from the roadmaps that feed into it. For the time being, we have altered our approach to how we originally intended to use portfolio views and are hopeful that additional functionality will be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProductPlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving for: providing tailored information to different stakeholder tiers without having to do extra and repetitive work. Before ProductPlan, we would have to update multiple sources constantly, and it was hard to maintain and keep up to date while including only relevant information for specific groups. Now we can leverage tags in ProductPlan to create specific views that are always up to date. Overall it has already led to time savings and is improving how we communicate internally.

"Great Product!"

4/5

What do you like best about ProductPlan?

The drag and drop functionality is really helpful to rapidly move things around on the board. I like the ability also to color code items, and build in milestones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProductPlan?

I'd like better functionality around setting my own sprint cadence. We have a unique cadence where we implement a one week sprint (usual is two week). I have to use milestones to track sprints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProductPlan:

Works great for quickly compiling roadmaps! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProductPlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to quickly visualize and plan for our future iterations with this tool is helpful. We are able to share the views across our multiple teams and use labels to join roadmaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

The synchronization of custom fields when integrating with Jira needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
