- Taskade lets you easily create lists of tasks, like a task list for a meeting, a task list for a project, things you need to do this week, today’s tasks and so on. You can start a task list with a blank sheet or one of many ready-made templates can be selected. It's simple, collaborative, with integrated messaging and video chat. Templates are basically empty lists that have been formatted and organised so you just have to fill in the blanks. A weekly task list has entries for every day of the week for example. This is a nice feature and it saves some a little time and effort and helps you to stay organised. There are many examples and use cases on www.taskade.com/templates
- Tejas KingerPMM @ Plum | Prev. @ Freshworks Hiver · WrittenI'd suggest Trello over Asana if you prefer a Kanban style view of tasks that you need to manage across your team.Michael NguyenCustomer Success, Asana · WrittenAsana has boards view and allows you to have a tasks in multiple projects making it very easy to always have a single source of truth.
- Sean KressKarlsberatung · WrittenI have experimented with many different tools over the years, but I must say that Zenkit simply tops everything. It´s really easy to use and has great teamwork features which just make it really easy to get work done. Just amazing. Keep it up guys!I would recommend Zenkit. As a product manager, you will need different tools to accomplish your task - todo, project management, gantt chart, mind map, excel spreadsheets... zenkit provides you everything under one roof and you can easily link up between these tools.
- Lisa DziubaMaker & PMM. Built & Sold my startup 🦄 · WrittenPerfect for tasks management in a startup team!
- Pavel Kukhnavets made this productI vote for the platform for growing companies- Hygger.io (https://hygger.io/ ) as the service provides the full range of options that product managers need: from friendly Kanban boards to the clear roadmap and the tool for prioritization features (the backlog priority chart).
- $rikanth.¥.$.Engineer, Product & Program · WrittenI have used Slack at my current org. It’s truly a cross-functional team collaboration tool.! 🔝⚒ 2️⃣ 🚢Tejas KingerPMM @ Plum | Prev. @ Freshworks Hiver · WrittenThe best tool for team communication, threaded communication, and chat.Matthias KentziaProduct manager at Project A Ventures · WrittenLots of great little benefits, but what really makes Slack stand out is the almost limitless integrations you can out together.
- Christoph JanzPartner at Point Nine Capital · WrittenLets you search and organize all your customer feedback in one place.Allows you to make better product decisions. Centralize and organize all your customers' feedback in one single place. Prioritize feature requests and improve product roadmap.
- Kavir KayceeProduct Manager | On Deck Fellow | ISB · WrittenGoogle Sheets and Google Docs - great for collaborative document editing!
- Matt HamiltonVP Product, Republic · WrittenGotta have a tool for wireframing if you work on anything with a UI.
- Jeroen Corthout ☕Co-Founder Salesflare · WrittenGreat product. Easy to use and beautiful. Love it. Had coffee with the founder recently too: https://blog.salesflare.com/hube...Constant market discovery - i.e., talking to customers and the market - is one of the most valuable things product managers can do. But we've never had a good tool for gathering and making use of all the data we collect. Productboard provides that tool. Finally, we have an assistant for helping detect the weak signal of important market problems, for which we can create successful solutions.
- Alex BarreraFounder at The Aleph Report & Tech.eu · WrittenPretty obvious for any developer, but it also works well for docs and other share resources of a team
- Joe ThomasHead of Product, Loom · WrittenJoe Thomas made this productRecord analytic dashboard insights to record with team, design feedback, and bug reporting.
- Trifon Tsvetkov made this productGood overview of what the whole team is doing. Lets you include freelancers and contractors into your team without creating accounts for them. Also integrates with email and slack so you don't have to switch between apps all the time. Simple and free.Julius ŠakalysWeb application engineer · WrittenI've been using this daily to manage the work of others and my own. Pretty happy with the simplicity of it.
- As submitted before: Asana and Google sheets are the true essentials IMO but I find Workflowy also to be an invaluable tool for planning.
- Another Roadmap product which helps you gather customer feedback and share publicly or privately. This one is more like Uservoice which imho has become an over-priced mess of features and UI. Fave features: - Ability to gather all customer feedback in one place, then convert it into stories, and share the releases - Public sharing which enables voting - Dashboard view to keep track of everything at a glance - Nice UI
- Maéva AlmérasQA · WrittenI suppose TMetric is a must-have tool for product managers, as it helps to track time during the working progress and estimate time for tasks.
- Hannah WhiteMarketing Manager · WrittenI would recommend trying out a platform like Tonkean. It pulls all of your favorite business tools into once place (like most dashboards), PLUS adds your teams context to it (unlike other dashboards). The most appealing factor is that your team doesn't even need to change their workflow. Tonkean's AI-powered chatbot reaches out to the owners you've assigned for status updates through their favorite communication tools (Slack, Teams or email). Then, based on their response, either updates the information in your dashboard (and by association your other tools) or just publishes the context that you need for the initiative you're tracking. There's a few examples of how product/project teams have been using the platform, available here: https://tonkean.com/templates/
- Tejas KingerPMM @ Plum | Prev. @ Freshworks Hiver · WrittenPossibly THE tool a product manager would need. The best tool to manage and view your product roadmap.
