ProdPad – Put the Best Ideas Into Action

ss-prodpad
ProdPad is a product management solution that provides teams with an easy way to turn their best ideas into product specs. By integrating with the web-based tools that many companies already use—including JIRA, UserVoice, and Trello—ProdPad is able to reduce the types of backlogs that slow teams down.

Ideas can come from any direction. The next time you have a moment of genius, open up ProdPad and submit a new idea to your team. ProdPad will generate reports based on the ideas that your team has put in, and the web-based application offers bulk editing, tagging, filtering, and sorting to make it even easier for you to keep your ideas organized. When the time comes to put your developed ideas into action, use ProdPad’s roadmapping cards to communicate your plans with your entire team. ProdPad can help you manage roadmaps from single products, product lines, and entire portfolios.

The actual interpretation of your roadmap is called prioritization, and it involves deciding what should be built based on aspects like value and demand. When you get to the point where your product specifications are ready to go, that’s called delivery. ProdPad can push product specifications to your developers seamlessly, and status alerts can be shared while the process is ongoing. Finally, analytics, experimentation, and customer feedback tools help businesses get a better idea of how successful their completed products have ultimately become.

  • Capture product ideas from your entire team
