ProductPlan vs. StoriesOnBoard

Product Plan is great if you need a simple tool to manage your product roadmap, and don’t want a complex enterprise application.

It's a great end-to-end tool from ideation through prototyping to maintenance. The Jira integration makes backlog management efforless for Jira users.

• Excellent road-mapping and visualization.
• Can directly sync to/from JIRA.
• Building a road map is very intuitive because of the in-app tutorial.

• Individualization of maps, annotations and colors.
• Clear display depending on the situation (hiding stories).
• Handling of the cards in case of changes.
• The possibility to change content directly in the overview (title, annotation, color).

• It is a little short of tutorials, I know that the platform is very easy to use but sometimes there are little things that I had not understood.
• The output of the route sheets is very limited, I would prefer that this could be customized.
• There are times that there is a little space between the bars of the roadmap, I would like this to be automatically coupled and thus have no errors between dates or time when a task will be performed after completing another.

• Integration for NextGen projects

StoriesOnBoard works really well; all features are well thought through. It could look a bit fresher, although the new updated dashboard is already much better than it was.

Great online support!

ProductPlan has given better results without much effort in learning to use the software itself since other platforms have been very complicated and the ROI was not very pleasant compared to this platform. With ProductPlan work efficiency has been increased since workflow management has been brought to a level that can be more organized without setbacks.

Miro: The handling in Miro was not comfortable enough. Easy Agile User Story Maps for Jira: The integration with Jira was a great idea, but the handling on the map was not good. Also, there were only 2 layers, which made it very difficult to define the cards.

• It has helped us in making project routes easy and more clear.
• Helps us in letting our customers know about our progress in the projects or works given.
• Helped us in completing our projects earlier than the deadline.

• StoriesOnBoard (and story mapping in general) creates a low-cost visual method of aligning on high-level business and technical requirements early in a project and provides an ongoing reference as the project progresses. Having this alignment is critical for the later stages of the project.
