Product Pathfinder Plus

As you define the roadmap and requirements for your product, you will seek input from key participants in the process. When the documentation is finished, you will need to communicate this information across your organization. In order to perform both of these tasks effectively, your product documentation should be:

• In a highly-visible and centralized location,
• Structured in a coherent and easy to understand format, and
• Available to everybody for free.

Product Pathfinder Plus provides you with the ability to collaborate on releases, communicate requirements to your organization, and document your product.

Give Everybody Access

In order to be effective in your role as a product manager, you must be able to communicate effectively with every person in your company that is associated with your product. With Product Pathfinder, you can create an unlimited number of free read-only users. These users will have read-only access to all documentation associated with your products and releases in one highly visible location. (read more. . .)

Providing Coherent Structure

The release area of Product Pathfinder provides a consistent and coherent structure for all of the documentation pertaining to a release. This includes documents created specifically for a release like overviews and go to market plans as well as all of the documentation associated with each requirement being addressed in the release.

Your coworkers will quickly learn that all of the information they need pertaining to a release is located within Product Pathfinder. Once they realize this, they will begin to come to you with real questions about your requirements instead of to ask where it is located.

Collaboration Tools

Like the rest of Product Pathfinder, the release section is customizable to your needs. By default, it include sections for release overviews, miscellaneous release documents, and go to market planning. If you have other needs, however, these categories can be quickly configured to meet your needs. Each of the release documents also has a complete history associated with it so that you can effectively collaborate with others in your company without worrying about losing your work when it is changed by others.

Product Roadmap

One of the more challenging aspects of product management is balancing the long-term viabilty of your product with the need to close important deals and keep influential customers happy. Add a few strong executive personalities into the mix and making the right decision can be downright impossible.

Product manager's need to focus the decision away from the emotion surrounding a competitive deal and on to the facts at hand. A great tool for accomplishing this is the product roadmap.

The product roadmap will outline each of the major requirements for a product and a tentative schedule for when they will be released. When a feature is required in order to close a deal, the discussions can center on the actual long-term tradeoffs to the product instead of the deal at hand.

Product Pathfinder enables you to run a product roadmap report whenever it is needed. Sometimes moving a feature forward is the right thing to do. Sometimes it is not. The only way to make the correct determination is to understand the tradeoffs. The Product Pathfinder roadmap is a great tool for understanding these tradeoffs so you can find the right path for your product.
