Product management is the "middleware" connecting strategies, visions, and goals with agile execution.

This guide covers how to use Dragonboat for the best practice product management workflow and quarterly product planning.

 

Best Practice Product Operating Workflow in Dragonboat

 

Before Product - brainstorm/ strategize / alignment

  1. Define goals - using Outcome module
  2. Collect and evaluate requests/feedback-via request module
  3. Define and prioritize objectives and strategize themes - via 3D Roadmapping 
  4. Evaluate and prioritize initiatives to achieve objectives. 

Before Engineering

  1. Organize/ Prioritize product ideas by Objective, Themes, Product on the Idea board or Idea list
  2. Estimate to understand / adjust resources required for each Idea via Forecast Module
  3. Push to Jira (or Azure DevOps, Github issues or Shortcut) for Team execution

Delivery Phase

  1. See progress automatically pulled from Jira (or Azure DevOps, Github issues or Shortcut)
  2. Share with stakeholders and Teams - for context and prep for downstream activities

Launch to Market
