For product teams

Project management for product teams, from request to roadmap

Collect requests from real users, rank them with votes, plan initiatives on a quarterly timeline, and close the loop automatically when the work ships.

The problem

Product decisions get made from the loudest input rather than the most common one. Requests arrive through sales calls, support tickets and a founder forwarding an email, none of which are counted. The roadmap lives in a slide deck that is accurate the week it is made, and the customer who asked for the thing you just built never finds out it exists.

In one answer

Is Planner.day good for product managers?

Planner.day suits product teams because it connects requests to delivery. An embeddable widget collects feature requests from real users, anonymous voting on a public roadmap ranks demand, initiatives group projects into a quarterly timeline whose progress rolls up from the work beneath, and every linked reporter is emailed automatically when a request ships.

Deciding from the loudest input

Most product teams do not lack feedback. They lack feedback in a form that can be counted. A request from a sales call, one from support, one from the founder’s inbox: three records of the same need, in three systems, none of which add up.

What gets built is then whatever was mentioned most recently by whoever has the most access.

Requests that accumulate instead of scatter

The feedback widget collects requests from inside your product, from the people actually using it, with no account required.

Submissions land in triage. When the same thing arrives again you merge it into the existing record rather than filing a second one. The count that results is a real number, because it is one record with several reporters attached rather than several records nobody reconciled.

Demand, ranked

Publish requests to a public roadmap with anonymous voting. Votes give you a ranked signal, attached to the same records that become tasks.

No login is required to vote, deliberately: a sign-up wall collects opinions only from people motivated enough to register, which is a biased sample of your users.

Planning above projects

Initiatives group spaces into a company-level objective with a target date, status and health, rendered as a quarterly timeline across the year with milestones.

Progress on an initiative rolls up from the spaces beneath it rather than being a percentage somebody types in on a Monday. That is the difference between a roadmap that reflects the work and a roadmap that reflects how optimistic its owner felt.

Closing the loop

When a task behind a published request is marked done, every linked reporter is emailed automatically, including everyone whose duplicate was merged in.

This is the step that almost never happens anywhere, and the one that changes how customers behave. People who hear that the thing they asked for shipped keep telling you things.

Evidence

Dashboards cover throughput, cycle time, velocity, reopen rate and overdue work, with breakdowns by status, priority, assignee, type and custom field. Every widget drills through to the tasks behind it, so a number that looks wrong can be checked rather than argued about. See dashboards and analytics.
