New capabilities allow businesses of any size to increase productivity, collaborate better across the organization, and execute faster to eliminate waste and drive revenue.

Productboard, the customer-centric product management platform that helps teams get the right products to market faster, today announced the launch of new capabilities designed to improve focus, productivity, and company-wide collaboration for product teams. With the flexibility to organize, share, and engage stakeholders with product information and context, product teams can now increase productivity, improve stakeholder collaboration across the business, and accelerate progress at every step of the product development process, from strategy to delivery.

In today’s tough market, innovating and driving revenue with new products has never been more urgent. But teams are under increased pressure to operate with greater efficiency, while still meeting high expectations, and are seeing productivity decline due to today’s distributed work environment filled with a proliferation of tools, meetings overload, and growing silos. All of this equates to slower execution and sub-par outcomes across the organization, putting companies’ efforts of driving innovation and growth at risk. According to Bain, only 25% of CTOs say their return on their company’s software development investments meets expectations, meanwhile, Gartner® finds, “Three-quarters of R&D leaders report that half of the innovations they say are ready for the business end up unused.”

“Now, I have an overview in Productboard across all the teams at the right level of detail. My team can operate with more confidence and autonomy. Meanwhile, Go-to-Market understands exactly what’s being delivered when and what’s expected of them.”

“Fast and aligned execution is critical in order to drive ROI, especially in this uncertain economy,” said Hubert Palan, Founder & CEO of Productboard. “With this release, Productboard is helping companies ensure that they’re bringing the highest impact products to market, faster, by re-imagining how product teams and the entire business collaborate and share information. We believe these new capabilities will enable customers to continue to drive true innovation and stay competitive, even amidst the volatility of today’s market.”

Productboard’s new capabilities, available in general availability for all plans, provide product teams with flexibility in how information is organized, shared, and consumed. Now they can:

Unlock productivity with personalized workspaces: Product managers can improve focus by having greater flexibility to customize their workspace and main navigation and streamline access to product information relevant to their work.

Improve team efficiency: Teams can now curate how roadmaps, customer feedback, and other product data are organized and shared with dedicated teamspaces for specific teams, stakeholders, or product areas, helping everyone access information relevant to them and move faster.

Collaborate better across the business: With self-serve, bespoke collections of information in teamspaces, business stakeholders gain visibility and the level of context they need—when they need it—saving everyone time and effort from searching for or providing manual updates. Stakeholders can better understand return on product investments with a deeper understanding of product team progress, blockers, and dependencies, and better allocate resources to keep product plans on track.

“Productboard has helped narrow our focus on the right things and enabled us to work together more effectively to bring everything more to life for our customers,” said Alister Sneddon, Head of Product at CMC Markets, the leading global provider of online trading. “Now, I have an overview in Productboard across all the teams at the right level of detail. My team can operate with more confidence and autonomy. Meanwhile, Go-to-Market understands exactly what’s being delivered when and what’s expected of them.”
