Airfocus Review

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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!

Inconvénients :

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

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Productboard

Pourquoi choisir airfocus : Poor prioritization options on Product Plan

Logiciel antérieur : ProductPlan

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : Lack of visual priorities. Also it was super expensive.

Still figuring out the best way to do this

Commentaires : 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

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Roadmunk et Productboard

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : Because of the ability of sharing roadmaps dynamically with stakeholders

Great product roadmap tool

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Roadmunk et Aha!

Good tool

Avantages :

I like it very customizable, so I can choose a template that I need and adjust it. I used a project management roadmap template, really like the way it's set up with tasks list, kanban board and timeline, 3 key views I need. Overall I like kanban board the most because it's quite clear for the team to know what's done, and what's in progress.

Inconvénients :

It's relatively quite expensive comparing to other tools. I'm using it for project management with several workstreams and departments, so not that interested in the prioritization, because things are planned beforehand. But seems that feature has to be there and can't get rid of the scoring when I don't need it. And also I can't trace history version or activities, so if someone did something wrong in my team, we need to manually fix it.

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : Because people in the team has used Airfocus, so we go with the more familiar one for everyone.

Fresh breeze for prioritization

Commentaires : Using air.focus mainly for keeping users and stakeholders in touch with our Software development process. Its chart view and timeline are easy to read and interpretate. Screenshots from air.focus can be used for quaterly presentations in Front of the stakeholders on the management level.

Avantages :

can be used as a power-up for Trello, good seamless integration with Trello, synchronization works well between the two, motivates users of our software products to contribute and clarify their requests for features, high learning curve for editors (Team internal) and contributers (external), clear message with regard to the commitment point (which features will be implemented by the Team)

Inconvénients :

adding a criteria leads to losing scoring for all items, value axis of a criteria cannot be scaled after its definition

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Jira

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : Mainly using it for stakeholder management and communication with stakeholders and users. JIRA has a lot more features, but air.focus comes along more handy/suitable for communication needs.

Roadmaps Reimagined

Commentaires : I loved how quickly they responded to my set-up (team-related questions) issues. They have well-deserved confidence in their product and they were happy to let me share the product (for a limited amount of time) with other co-workers to get company buy-in for the purchase.

Avantages :

A the kids say, It is intuitive asf. It required almost little to no time to familiarize myself with the feature set and how to make use of them which is rare in a new piece of software.

Inconvénients :

Well I understand the reasons why, it is not all that easy to share/collaborate with teams outside of your product group.

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Airtable et Roadmunk

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : The product is simply better and more versatile while being easy to use.

Great for high level planning

Commentaires : We use it weekly for pipeline planning and for some roadmaps

Avantages :

It provides a good high-level planning tool with some good visualisation to look at your pipeline in different ways.

Inconvénients :

Editor accounts are expensive. So your whole team can't fully collaborate on it.

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Jira et Trello

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : Different visualisations of the pipeline and roadmap items were good for high-level planning.

Airfocus brought much-needed objectivity in how we prioritize our projects

Avantages :

Airfocus is magic, because it allowed my growth team to not work on the latest, shiniest idea. It allowed me to get my team to think more objectively about what projects will actually make the most impact.

Inconvénients :

I think onboarding could be a lot easier so I don't have to spend much time walking folks through how to use it.

Alternatives envisagées précédemment : Airtable

Pourquoi passer à airfocus : I originally was looking to use Product Planner as a tool and stumbled upon Airfocus. To my surprise, it had a more effective way to more scientifically rate and prioritize projects. I love how easy it is to customize these values as well. The visual of showing what projects are low value and low impact has made conversations with my feature team and even leadership much easier.

Great partner for product managers

Commentaires : Great experience, we use it weekly for all the products of our platform

Avantages :

The customization of the prioritization formula. Easy to learn and use. Capability to work with different views and different workspaces.

Inconvénients :

Great product, waiting for more features to come

Good product

Commentaires : It's a good product, looking forward to filling out more of the fields to experience the full extent of the product.

Avantages :

Easy to get started with listing and sorting items. Good and extensive variety of views available that you can toggle between

Inconvénients :

Drag and drop feature not available to drag items between objectives. A bit overwhelming to begin with as there are so many options and fields

airfocus review

Commentaires : I think rep was very helpful, which made the whole trial experience much nicer for us.

Avantages :

It's easy to use, which makes it great for when you need to onboard new team members - the other tools were too complicated to use for what we needed at the moment The Board view is exactly what we needed for our roadmap The timeline feature is also very useful for our Hardware teams Aesthetics was also a very big reason why we decided to use this tool I also like that we can customize the value indicators

Inconvénients :

The one major thing I noticed, is that it's hard to close / archive a full month (column) in the Board view. You are only allowed to delete it, and then you have to archive all the cards. I think there are some key features missing: * I wish we could see links for all the previous share views set up, not just the API key, this doesn't help * I wish we could edit the settings we had for all previous share views * I wish we could link workspaces so that I could make smaller workspaces but still see an overview of all workspaces * I wish there was a way to save the custom colors and assign color to JIRA integrations so that I don't have to re-color everything everytime I have new items coming in

New User

Commentaires : Very satisfied and I will be taking on an editor subscription in order to keep using this product.

Avantages :

The software attachs well with Trello and gives the needed outputs that Trello does not provide alone, turning one data input into many useful visuals for use in managing tasks and projects while briefing at many levels.

Inconvénients :

Takes a while to get to grips with set ups for functionality, not as intuitive as I would like but then as I learn to adapt in my inputs this will be less of an issue.

Good product management tool

Avantages :

Custom fields, workspaces, features dependencies, froms app, differents views

Inconvénients :

I struggled to set up the jira integration

Ready-set-go!

Commentaires : it's really "ready-set-go" and with learning the possibilities you can give more input and receive more output
you can start small and build it up
very intuitive

Avantages :

Easy to define features and link them to teams and epics Able to define the values and put a score on it. Even able to change them later on without much effort. Visualisation of the features on the chart gives you a great overview and information Timeline is easy to manage without to much needed information

Inconvénients :

still need to find cons. Sometimes you have to finetune or rethink some things, but it's not that you have to start from scratch.

Great product for streamlining project management

Commentaires : It's very easy to learn, covers all of our company's needs, and was easy to integrate with Trello. The prioritization element has been really helpful in aligning what senior leadership thinks is important with what individual teams are conveying is important. It's also been great to demonstrate the amount of time projects make, especially to people who don't have knowledge of marketing processes and procedures.

Avantages :

The prioritization element and the ability to integrate with Trello.

Inconvénients :

It's a bit pricey to have multiple editors - would be great if the package levels increased the number of editors not just contributors.

Airfocus review

Avantages :

It is the easiest way to have a prioritization system that can be customized.

Inconvénients :

Lack of basic standard software features.

Lightweight tool that does the job

Avantages :

Easy to setup to mirror our current manual / ad hoc process, but provides a lot of time saving functionality. Does not feel bloated like some other product planning software that tries to do everything.

Inconvénients :

We have 20-30 features in progress at any point in time. It can be difficult to see this on the roadmap or the timeline view. Needs a "dense display" or the ability to "zoom out' to see the overall progress.

Align your teams around the roadmap

Avantages :

Being able to share links with live views of the roadmap, timeline, task list is great. Being able to score features and functions on different, bespoke criteria, means that only the features that are going to move the needle make their way into development.

Inconvénients :

Being able to bulk score, i.e. these 10 features all score an 8 would be useful, currently you have to score each on individually.

Review of airfocus

Commentaires : I use airfocus to strategize and prioritize both daily tasks and long term goals. It's a fabulous tool.

Avantages :

Airfocus helps me prioritize both my daily tasks and my long term projects & goals. It's easy to customize based on the impacts to my particular business and industry. Before airfocus, I did routine strategizing (especially for daily tasks) in my head...I'm shocked to the extent airfocus' algorithm actually mirrors my intuition (ie airfocus always correctly sorts) but now I don't have to think about every little detail. This saves me a ton of time and mental focus.

Inconvénients :

Too expensive and need a better iphone app

Good and easy Tool for Product Prioritization

Avantages :

* the good UI, easy to understand and use * the possibility to configure the and weight the different parameters that are relevant for prioritization

Inconvénients :

* features like the chart tool are not configurable * minor UI bugs, especially on smaller screensizes (not scrolling possible, relevant information not in viewport)

Intuitive and surprisingly strong strategy platform

Avantages :

Airfocus is an incredibly useful tool when it comes to scoring and planning of high level projects. It is very intuitive and easy to use. The set-up of my first scoring-document took me about 10 minutes.

Inconvénients :

So far, I haven't experienced any issues using airfocus. I hope they implement the CSV-Import feature soon.

Best decision by far

Commentaires : Definitely recommend especially if you in search of something, that drives you within the project goals.

Avantages :

We use Jira, Trello, and Zapier. It was so easy to integrate these tools and as result it took off some work and made daily stuff easier.

Inconvénients :

I really had not faced issues using the tool as well as my team members.

Airfocus has helped us improve our focus!

Commentaires : We've been very happy with AirFocus and especially their support. The team has always been willing to answer any questions and point us in the right direction for any conundrums we encountered.

Avantages :

Airfocus is a clean, clear and concise way for us to prioritize our feature requests and backlog. It has helped to create more visibility within the organization on what the team is working on and have more direct say in what they want to have implemented.

Inconvénients :

We had a few issues initially with fitting our process into the software and had hoped for one or two more customizations around ranking, but overall that didn't negatively affect our experience.

Simple and Intuitive

Commentaires : Helped to prioritise different focused areas projects at organizacion level using the correct drivers. With more informed prioritization a better outcome starts to show.

Avantages :

Easy to get started and intuitive learning

Inconvénients :

Would like more time controlled relations
