    Craft.io - A product management tool definitely worth your attention!

    Reviewed on 2023/02/16

    It's been really good for the main...it's easy to label this as something of a jack of all (product) things but the master of none part of the saying doesn't do it justice! I like the way new features come readily and they are listening to their users. Even the handful of times of needed their support the answers have been always helpful. I'd used Aha! in the past and is way less of a cumbersome beast in comparison.

    Pros

    It feels like a product tool created by product people. The product is easy to use and no problems to integrate with Jira. Setting things up to how I want was simple enough and the broad range of features. Road mapping is pretty dynamic and easy to switch views subject to audience. It's great value for money in relation to others.

    Cons

    Whilst the road mapping part is very good, cosmetically it is weaker than others (like Productboard or Airfocus). OKR management is a bit limited currently. Setting them up and connecting them is totally fine but I'd like to see better visibility on how well (or not) they are being achieved.

    Reasons for Switching to Craft.io

    It was the collective of all features versus cost really. Arguably some competitors looked better in places, or excelled at certain things but few offered the depth of features I was looking for and none at the price really.

    Good process sharing

    The benefit is to keep everybody on the same page with a clear sprint backlog and clear milestone.

    The benefit is to keep everybody on the same page with a clear sprint backlog and clear milestone.

    Pros

    The way it allows us to share the Product Development process with ease along with the team.
    Coming from a similar product (Product Board) the learning curve has been short.
    I would recommend to small remote teams in their early stages of development.

    Cons

    Not always easy to browse through, requires more effort than necessary to find items that haven't been properly tagged.

    Buggy software

    Helps with agile software development using Scrum approach.

    Pros

    In overall it's still a usable product. The developer needs to focus on fixing the bugs to improve overall usability. Also, you need to have a fast computer to run it. Running this thing on an old mac is a nightmare.

    Cons

    Plenty of bugs and poor usability features.

    1. Assigning a story to somebody will move the current swimlane to the first swimlane.
    2. Assigning a story to somebody will move the ticket to the top of the swimlane.
    3. A “Command+click” (on Mac) on a ticket in a swimlane does not open the ticket in a new tab.
    4. Unable to post links with ampersands in the URL in comments.
    5. Permalinks stop randomly working and bring to a different view.

    Great for creating strategic roadmaps

    Reviewed on 2023/05/31

    Pros

    The strategic roadmapping functionality has been great for providing clarity and transparency when presenting the roadmap to different product stakeholders and the development team.

    Cons

    The platform it's very flexible and offers endless customisation, which it's great on one side but on the other side, it might get challenging for users with less experience.

    Personal review for Craft

    Reviewed on 2023/04/13

    Pros

    Craft's data entry approach is extremely fast, allowing you to get from a concept to a finished story in seconds. Craft is a fantastic all-around tool, which is why I chose it in the first place. Using the card view, you can add visuals to tales so that everyone can see what's happening on in real time. It's also quite simple to turn your random ideas into user tales. You can also use story points, effort, and custom fields to help you organize and prioritize your stories.

    Cons

    It can be difficult to navigate, requiring more effort than necessary to discover goods that have not been correctly labeled.
