Get Your Product Roadmap Out of Excel and Into Aha!

Great products are typically the result of having a breakthrough idea and being able to explain to the team where you are headed. This means that if you are a product manager, you are always busy writing down your product plans.

As experienced product managers know, it’s nearly impossible to map out and keep product roadmap information up-to-date in Excel and PowerPoint and a bug system. Aha! makes it easy to set your product vision, goals, and strategic initiatives and link them to your releases and features. That’s why over 10,000 users trust us for their product strategy and roadmaps.

The challenge is that if you are not already using Aha!, you likely already have some of this information today in a plethora of disparate systems. That’s why we are introducing a universal import capability to make it easy to migrate from madness to Aha!

The new universal import screen allows you to quickly add all of your product information into Aha! from a CSV file. This streamlines testing and adoption of Aha! You can use this new capability to import many types of information, including: products, initiatives, releases, ideas, features, and users.
