FeaturePlan is requirements management software built for Product Management. It helps you make sense of the flood of market data by aggregating it into a central repository.
Product managers get the tools to analyze market data and identify market problems so they can turn them into product requirements. This helps you build products that are better aligned with customer needs.
Based on the industry-standard Pragmatic Marketing framework, this enterprise software helps you implement a more efficient product management process in your organization.
FeaturePlan works alongside the requirements management software used by developers (like Caliber RM, RequisitePro, and DOORS) by focusing on the requirements management tasks owned by the product manager: gathering, analysis, and definition. Read more about how FeaturePlan works with other requirements management software tools.
FeaturePlan provides more than 180 easy-to-generate customizable reports, including a Market Requirements Table (MRT, below), a Market Requirements Document (MRD), a Product Requirements Document (PRD), a variety of other requirement reports, as well as Enterprise and Product Roadmaps. These reports provide detailed information while backing up your decisions, communicating your product vision and roadmap to the rest of the organization.

FeaturePlan’s Traceability feature helps you track prerequisites and dependencies through multiple products and product suites. Letting FeaturePlan manage this will help you handle those complex requirement relationships, while ensuring product releases are on-time and in sync.
FeaturePlan supports any number of products, and employees are able to access FeaturePlan from multiple geographic locations — which provides a richer collaboration experience across the whole enterprise.
FeaturePlan is available as an on-demand hosted application, and as packaged software. FeaturePlan can be installed on your server, or made available as an on-demand hosted service.
In this way, FeaturePlan works for multiple products and for employees in multiple geographic locations — which builds collaboration across the whole enterprise.
Software product managers get flooded with information, ideas and requests. They come in different formats, and from all over: customers, salespeople, developers, sales engineers, competitive intelligence, and management. Product managers who try to keep up with this using Word and Excel hit scalability and collaborative limits pretty soon, and become “data janitors.”
Forget copying and pasting into Word and Excel. FeaturePlan has five ways to collect market inputs: spreadsheet imports, web forms for intranets and extranets, bi-directional APIs for CRM or bug tracking systems, a Microsoft Outlook® add-in, and a manual interface. (More about automation...)
Strategy is the most rewarding part of product management. When data input is automated, you free up critical time for strategic thinking. When all market inputs are in one place, it’s easier to synthesize the “big market picture” and corporate strategy into a product strategy. (More about strategy...)
Roadmap reports give product management the ability to present the long-term vision to the product stakeholders like customers, development, sales, and investors). Enterprise Roadmaps allow executives to see the all the product roadmaps in one view and align their efforts with against corporate strategy. (More about Roadmaps...)
Product management is an essential discipline in the knowledge economy, and many companies are building their product management departments without the optimal processes and goals in mind. FeaturePlan was built according to industry best practice principles. With it, you can introduce more rigor and consistency in the product management process — which leads to better products, better collaboration and product releases delivered on time. (More about improving your product management process...)
FeaturePlan allows you to establish a direct channel with customers. Customers are the source of the best ideas - so why not give them access to your FeaturePlan web forms? Their suggestions are entered directly into the FeaturePlan database. This helps develop accounts and customer satisfaction, as well as make a better product. (More about getting customers contributing...)
Everyone involved in the product development effort — product managers, developers, testers — is measured on meeting release timelines and product quality. The “soft skills” of collaboration and communication between departments help you meet those goals. FeaturePlan gives you a requirements management infrastructure that supports better collaboration and communication. (More about collaboration...)
For product managers, the key deliverables are reports: MRD’s, PRD’s, Release notes, and product roadmaps. FeaturePlan gives you the tools to generate these reports easily. They can illustrate the impact of various “what-if” scenarios. And when an entire department uses FeaturePlan, reports can be standardized — which makes development happy. (More about reports...)
