More than any other software tool you’ll find, Craft.io can help your organization centralize your product content companywide in a seamless, end-to-end environment. The native Craft.io platform provides intuitive tools that connect roadmapping, backlog management, prioritization, feedback analysis, dependencies management, capacity planning, and other key workflows.
Planning—while crucial—often becomes one of the least enjoyable aspects of Product Development work. It can create a lot of unnecessary “process noise” without truly empowering teams. The main thing to focus on when you want to improve this is to support meaningful discussions between teams and larger business units (which, at Miro, we call “streams”). Our recent experiments have revolved around exploring this very concept.
Under the right circumstances and when used for their intended purposes, spreadsheets are among the most useful and impressive software tools ever developed. So, let’s get that out of the way upfront — we at Craft.io aren’t spreadsheet haters or skeptics. #GoSpreadsheets! In fact, we use them internally to build and manage our business. We just don’t use spreadsheets for our product work. Because… time and place.
Nishar’s quote perfectly sums up the diverse challenges of managing product development.

That’s why having the right product management tools in your arsenal is essential.
