Staying competitive in your market requires regular updates to your products. As your suppliers and R&D teams come up with exciting solutions to customer needs as new modules, as a product manager, you want to see these innovations on your products to get the value to the market as soon as possible.
Many powerful management tools are available to manufacturers and product teams beyond the high-level dashboard that a product roadmap management software offers. Engineering teams, for example, require effective ticket management software systems that help them prioritize their backlogs and delegate tasks to their teams before reporting back to their product managers or product owners.
As a provider of product roadmap management (PRM) software, we at Gocious are proud to announce that we have obtained the ISO 27001 certification. This is a significant milestone for us, as it demonstrates our commitment to protecting our customers' data.
Product managers need a variety of skills to excel in their positions, including the ability to be organized, creative, punctual, collaborative, and effective communicators. Of all the skills that a Product Manager must exhibit during the product development process, effective communication is the most vital to success. From product ideation to completion, good communication is necessary.
As product managers, you know that a meaningful product strategy and roadmap are more than just timelines. To control the product's destiny, many people have to come together to make adjustments along the way. Some decisions may result in compromises such as delayed launch, change in scope, or cost. Adjustments must then be made to align with business and customer expectations. These decisions require cross-functional team collaboration and a space that can provide them with the information they need to discuss and make an informed decision in the shortest time possible.
Every business has an annual or multi-year objective to meet. They do this either by introducing new products, changing current ones, or sunsetting others. As Product Managers, you are one of the drivers for innovation. One question every business asks is how much will the introduction of new products contribute to the growth of our business and will it meet the objectives? Now Gocious will allow teams to capture growth metrics and visualize that on your roadmap.
We are pleased to announce the availability of Market Divisions, a set of features that allows you to define markets and capture product definitions that specifically address those markets.
It was a big effort, but we are finally here! Today we announce the general availability of change control for features. With this set of new capabilities at your disposal, you will be able to collaborate with your team more efficiently and run scenarios on your plans before publishing them across your product lines. You will also enjoy higher transparency as Gocious will highlight what features have changed since the last plan submission.
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Value Map charts to help product portfolio managers take advantage of the market conditions and position their products for success. Using Value Maps, as a product manager, you can compare your products against competitors in terms of value and price to devise the best strategy to enter or adjust the position of your products in the market.
Understanding how well a market segment is served can provide you with invaluable insight as to the opportunities available for new products and areas to stay away from. Can you imagine what a difference it would make to see in one visual how your product serves the market segments alongside your competition and whether there is a gap you can exploit?
