For: Product team members who have trouble tracking the status of market problems and field requests

 

Problem

There’s a problem in the industry today. Product team members in high-tech companies are overwhelmed by feature ideas and product requirements from inside and outside their company. Yet there are few tools available to manage the paperwork. Many product managers create their own database or spreadsheet to keep track of the requests. Some use a paper system. None are satisfied with the result.

 

Solution

The ideal solution would capture feature requests and track them through the development process.

Positioning Statement

Manage the product requirements, without all the paperwork. Stay focused on the business and market needs while keeping your stakeholders informed and in synch.
