You’re at the weekly meeting between product management and development, talking about the release schedule. This company wide product management collaboration is an overall group effort.
The group probably spends a lot of time giving additional definition to unclear requirements.
Developers ask who will be using a particular feature, and why you are asking for this feature and not that feature, and why you chose that one, and so on.
A dozen donuts makes the meeting better... but not the release.
Everyone involved in the product management collaboration effort — product managers, developers, testers — is measured on meeting release timelines and product quality. The “soft skills” of product management collaboration and communication between departments help you meet those goals. FeaturePlan gives you a requirements management infrastructure that supports better collaboration and communication.
By helping product managers aggregate all market inputs and synthesize them into well-defined requirements, FeaturePlan brings consistency and clarity to the Market Requirements Documents and Product Requirements Documents that development reads.
The evidence behind a requirement is right there on the page: the number of feature requests, descriptions of the personas who use the feature, and the problem statements that help a developer truly understand what to build. FeaturePlan takes out the guesswork that lead to better solutions.
When development receives a complete set of inputs, it improves inter-departmental collaboration and communication.
FeaturePlan supports a more structured and repeatable product management process, which leads to timely and predictable development. And FeaturePlan works together with the development team's requirements management software (e.g. Caliber RM, RequisitePro, DOORS) and bug tracking software, with bidirectional API’s.
