airfocus Erfahrungen

Airfocus hebt sich besonders durch die sehr ausgereifte UI von seinen Wettbewerbern ab. Nützlich ist die Priority Matrix, die oft interessante Erkenntnisse liefert. Im Alltag nutzen wir überwiegend die Timeline-Funktion, die viele Gliederungsoptionen bietet.

Hervorzuheben ist der überragende Support, der den Namen wirklich verdient.

Wünschenswert wären Check- bzw. To-Do-Listen innerhalb von Items.

One of my favorite things about airfocus was the setup process the wizard really guided me through it and I was able to easily setup the software the way I wanted to.
The bubble charts are a big help when it comes to discussing prioritization in-between teams when everyone has a different focus.

When I share a roadmap with a link, I would like to be able to set filters for the receiving persons view of the roadmap.

Very easy to use and customize to tell the appropriate story

There are some simple misses, what seems like very simple feature development and items that should be considered as part of an MVP (minimally viable product) should have been deployed by now.

On boarding of an existing list of items is very easy, the custom tags allow you to group features/items so that when deciding on next set of improvements and functions, you can achieve economies of scale. The swim lane style structure really helps us visualise where we are, what we have prioritised, and what we have completed allowing easy to create presentations for stakeholders when communicating roadmaps and progress.

I'm not sure the feature voting function is something we will use, and it would be great to have a MoSCoW feature. The user roles and permissions also need evolving, change history would be extremely handy and a function to allow you to create unique ticket ID's would be fantastic, but these are improvements more then dislikes.

The prioritization features and the priority chart view. Love how the prioritization is calculated automatically, definitely gives you a different view of the importance of your roadmap items; especially when using the priority chart view. Makes it really easy to see what features you should focus on next.

What I liked least, and this is just for the sake of having to list something, is the abundance of templates. There are tons of templates but they are all based on the same functionality with slight settings tweaked. AT first, I found this confusing and overwhelming as I did not understand what the difference was. Until I spent a good amount of time using it then chose what I liked the most from each and made it into my own.

Really appreciate how easy it is use for transparent prioritization of features among multiple stakeholders. Eliminates confusion and concerns about what we're going to build next.

Would like a little more flexibility with formatting the columns, but overall, it's quite easy to use

- Easy to use
- The prioritization module is excellent
- The visibility I can give to the team and the board of directors
- The customization of the views and fields

- Sometimes it gets slow
I have no other product cons

Being able to share links with live views of the roadmap, timeline, task list is great. Being able to score features and functions on different, bespoke criteria, means that only the features that are going to move the needle make their way into development.

Being able to bulk score, i.e. these 10 features all score an 8 would be useful, currently you have to score each on individually.

The timeline view. It is easy and quick to update and share with stakeholders.

We don't use any other functionality of Airfocus.

Pricing, currently we share a single user with all product owners.

- Has jira integration!
- Has the bubble charts for drivers (rating system)
- not expensive

- doesn't have open voting for team/customers.

As the person who runs product and engineering at our organization, there are requests coming in from every department for features, updates, and new products/pages. Being able to build a prioritization framework that the entire org is bought into that I can share with everyone has been invaluable. The entire team can now see our roadmap and why we're working on certain things. We built a google form to ingest requests, which creates an asana and airfocus task. We then enter their scores for impact, and our scores for effort and other teams can clearly see where their projects fall on the prioritization list. It's made conversations about bandwidth so much easier and made our teams work more transparent.

Currently, there is no way to have multiple frameworks inside a single project. It's also a bit expensive on a per-user basis.

Easy to define features and link them to teams and epics
Able to define the values and put a score on it. Even able to change them later on without much effort.
Visualisation of the features on the chart gives you a great overview and information
Timeline is easy to manage without to much needed information

still need to find cons.
Sometimes you have to finetune or rethink some things, but it's not that you have to start from scratch.

The detailed and configurable initiative scoring is exactly what we needed to evaluate future projects. The priority poker tool they have created is also an amazing way to unearth really productive conversations with all of our seniors.

I had a few things, but then they released an update and all of my concerns were addressed. It's like they were listening! I would like to maybe see some deeper integration of OKRs or other ways to communicate and do a basic tracking of progress towards annual objectives.

It really helps with product strategy in a collaborative/remote setup. Love being able to create roadmap dependencies with drag n drop. Defending decisions and prioritizing your backlog is smooth. Being able to score features and pushing them to Trello is a major bonus.

I'm being picky here, but their iPhone app could improve.

Help us to prioritize our feathers
Clear the road map plan
Improve our collaborating skills

Integration to Asana should work better, the overall work plan should be synchronized in two ways

Easy of use. The prioritization tool is awesome. The interface is very intuitive. I really like seeing the roadmap with the score on it.

The chat support is sometimes not very quick to respond. There are a couple features that would make this product even better, like the ability to role multiple items up to a larger item.

Was easy to setup and build a road map of existing products the team is working on

Missing a few features we would like such as adding tasks to the road map items and creating dependencies

The Priorization possibilities, the Asana integration and the Iframes possibilities to let to stakeholder to track.

Manual synchronization. Not Asana Due date synchronization , finished task in Asana are not considered. I think that Asana synchronization in general is a big advantage but you should still work on it to obtain maximum information from Asana tasks.

Ability to tie product initiatives back to overall product timelines.

Price could be lower, and also better integration with Jira and other tools
