I'm able to quickly share the content with my team and the Jira integration is super helpful so that the flow from market analysis to idea generation to spelling out the functional requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria, to linking to designs and having all of that feed into a Jira epic is amazing. Business stakeholders can also see the roadmap and understand why a decision to push a feature into production (or not) was made. > > **Cons**: The learning curve is steep. We had multiple sessions with the ProdPad team to understand how it integrates with our workflows. The initial time investment is worth it though, especially now that I can work straight out of ProdPad instead of having to connect and link content from Airtable, Google Docs, Confluence and Jira. Some of the UI could be improved - my team initially stumbled a bit with the UI (like things closing up accidentally with content that had not been saved) but have shared with each other things to look out for moving forward. > > I've been attending their webinars before my company instituted ProdPad, so their frameworks for things like Now, Next, and Later have always been part of my work. Having a tool that allows me to organize that work with those frameworks I learned from their sessions is really helpful. ----- ### "Simple yet noisy at the same time" — 3.0/5 > **Matt** | *5 December 2018* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Creating stories and bucketing them for planning purposes is very easy. It makes a very compelling visual when we do our product roadmap to see the various stories and categories. Integrates with Trello, which we also use > > **Cons**: The stories can build up and the "simple" visuals become muddy very quickly. It would be great to have another layer to summarize above what is already there so we can see the forest through the trees > > Our product manager introduced us to ProdPad and he was our main user. No one else on the team, including myself, has adopted using it nearly as much and so it feels like more noise than help to me ----- ### "Easy and effective" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *10 August 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ProdPad is easy to use, simple to integrate with Jira and most importantly supports you in your daily PM life > > **Cons**: While simple to integrate with Jira, customization only goes so far. If you have massive (integration) requirements, ProdPad might not be your preferred tool > > We use ProdPad for the entire product management life cycle in a startup and are happy: easy, simple, gets the job done ----- ### "The best tool for alignment and collaboration on product strategy" — 5.0/5 > **Fanny** | *14 December 2022* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm so happy to be working with ProdPad again. I've used it in a previous company I worked at and am glad to have introduced it again in my newest role. Some things have changed in the past 2 years but it's still such a great tool for alignment: I love how easy it is to share our strategy, keep room for changes, get others involved too. > > **Cons**: Not related to ProdPad specifically, the same would happen with others tools too: it requires to educate our colleagues and stakeholders on various concepts (feedback, idea, opportunity etc) and how they tie together. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/153910/prodpad?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/153910/prodpad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
