airfocus

Überragende Priority Matrix und außergewöhnlicher Support

Vorteile:

Airfocus hebt sich besonders durch die sehr ausgereifte UI von seinen Wettbewerbern ab. Nützlich ist die Priority Matrix, die oft interessante Erkenntnisse liefert. Im Alltag nutzen wir überwiegend die Timeline-Funktion, die viele Gliederungsoptionen bietet. Hervorzuheben ist der überragende Support, der den Namen wirklich verdient.

Nachteile:

Wünschenswert wären Check- bzw. To-Do-Listen innerhalb von Items.

Airfocus Review

Kommentare: Airfocus is helping our team organize our project activities into Sprints in the Kanban board as well as giving us a high-level overview in the Gantt Roadmap. The Priority Chart is a cool feature which is allowing us to evaluate projects based on voting/ranking. Overall our experience with Airfocus was been very positive.

Vorteile:

The first thing my team and I liked most about this software is that it covers all the bases for project management: Gantt roadmap, Kanban board and the Priority Chart. The second thing we liked most was how easy it was to use and how it effortlessly integrated into Trello. The customization was the icing on the cake; it allows you to create custom weights for your items and then graphs those items in the Priority Chart which gives a nice high-level overview of your activities in terms of priority. My team was very impressed with this functionality. Finally, the customer service has been outstanding. Representative, their head of marketing & sales has promptly responded to every question and even took a call on short notice to help us address a couple of hiccups which their dev team quickly resolved.

Nachteile:

At the moment Airfocus does not have a dependency feature, which would be great for the Gantt roadmap. Having a visual dependency link between items would make Airfocus and one-stop-shop for all things project management. However, representative has told me that this functionality should be available very soon. One other potential con is, depending on the size of your business, the cost of the editor license. It´s not cheap but for the scale and duration of my team´s projects, it certainly has been worth it so far.

An exceptional decision making tool

Kommentare: Decision making is super complex in our organizations. Airfocus makes it easier to align to our strategic priorities. I can see this being used as a feature level for releases too. An excellent platform for cross party alignment.

Vorteile:

There are many roadmapping tools out there. I've tried them all. However none allowed me to prioritize with ease and display important initiatives in a visual & decisive manner such as Airfocus. The options to customize & visualize priorities are world class!

Nachteile:

Perhaps the timeline view can become more visually appealing. It lacks some of the UI features that other tools may have.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Productboard

Warum airfocus gewählt wurde: Poor prioritization options on Product Plan

Zuvor genutzte Software: ProductPlan

Gründe für den Wechsel zu airfocus: Lack of visual priorities. Also it was super expensive.

Still figuring out the best way to do this

Kommentare: We are just starting using the tool and I already found value but only after all my product processes can go through Airfocus I will not be able to fully achieve the full value of the tool

Vorteile:

The prioritisation features and ability to share roadmaps dynamically with different stakeholders

Nachteile:

The JIRA integration is still missing important features. I would like to be able to control more of JIRA from Airfocus itself.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Roadmunk und Productboard

Gründe für den Wechsel zu airfocus: Because of the ability of sharing roadmaps dynamically with stakeholders

Great product roadmap tool

Vorteile:

I love how customizable everything is in AirFocus. You can build as many workspaces and views as you'd like that help you organize epics, ideas, feedback and initiatives. Really great tool for product roadmap socialization and prioritization.

Nachteile:

Once you get it, you get it. However, some of the features are not as intuitive to figure out how they work or even their potential. I highly recommend scheduling time with the support representative to get set-up. After that initial setup time, you're good to go.
