Product Workspace
capabilities in full
Plan and ship with your team — vision through to retrospective, using Agile and SAFe practices.
Your team does the work — AI assists on request, through optional bolt-ons.
Strategy 6
Define your product vision, outcomes, and epics to align the team on what matters.
Product Vision
Capture mission, vision statement, strategic goals and time horizon in a structured record the whole team can reference.
Outcomes
Define measurable outcomes with key results (baseline, target, current), target quarter and an owner. Track achievement across the portfolio.
Epics
Decompose outcomes into epics with owner, target quarter and direct links to outcomes above and features below.
Epic Designer
Assisted workspace that takes an epic from a one-line idea to a phased plan with draft features ready to promote.
Product Explorer
Drill from Vision through Outcomes, Epics, Features and Stories with an interactive hierarchy explorer.
Vision Roadmap
Read-only strategic roll-up showing the full hierarchy, designed for executive review and stakeholder alignment.
Discovery 4
Understand the customer, the journey and the flow before committing to build.
User Journeys
Map top-level journeys with nested sub-journeys. Capture purpose, desired outcome and link to features, stories and value streams.
Journey Personas
Build rich persona canvases (goals, frustrations, motivations, channels) and map them onto journeys with role, involvement and emotional state.
Value Stream Mapping
Three-step canvas: map current state, design target state, plan the transition with improvements, risks and success metrics. Promote any improvement straight into a new Feature or Story — the new item is bidirectionally linked back to the VSM.
Journey Explorer
Drill across journeys, sub-journeys, personas, VSMs and the work items linked to each.
Intake 3
A single front door for new requests with structured triage and decision audit.
Inbox (Work Intake)
Anyone submits requests, feedback, support items or big-ticket ideas. Each captures problem, AC, impact of inaction, value and timescale.
Triage Sessions
Schedule time-boxed group reviews with per-item timers. Each item is actioned, monitored or rejected with a reason — fully audited.
Past Triage Sessions
Historical decision log showing every triage outcome and links to the feature, story or task it spawned.
Catalogue 3
Know what you build. Platforms, products, sub-products and components with lifecycle and migration paths.
Product Catalogue
Six-level hierarchy (Platform → Domain → Product Set → Product → Sub-Product → Component) with purpose, audience, principles and an 8-phase lifecycle.
Product Map Report
Distribution by type and lifecycle, deprecation warnings, orphan detection and missing-info gaps.
Migration Tracking
Predecessor / successor / consolidated-into links keep legacy products and replacements connected through migration.
Shape 7
Turn ideas into features with enough rigour to estimate, prioritise and plan.
Feature Management
Five lifecycle sections — Scoping, Assessment, Design, Development, Completion — each capturing structured decisions with progress dots at a glance.
Feature Designer
Assisted breakdown of a feature into phased delivery with draft stories, spikes and tasks ready to promote into the backlog.
T-Shirt Sizing
Coarse complexity per feature (XS–XXL) compared against references the team already shipped. Minutes per feature, not hours.
Prioritisation (WSJF)
Weighted Shortest Job First scoring — business value, time criticality, risk reduction over job size. Defensible ranking.
Roadmap
Features mapped to quarters with WSJF ranking and a warning when a quarter exceeds historical throughput.
Feature Board
Kanban across the lifecycle stages — see at a glance what is in scoping, assessment, development or done.
Text Templates
Configurable proforma descriptions per work-item type with disabled / enabled / enforced modes.
Backlog 4
Stories, refinement, tech debt and templates — the backlog stays groomed and ready.
Stories, Tasks, Bugs, Spikes, Tech Debt
Five typed work items with acceptance criteria, severity (bugs), effort (tech debt), tags and Jira links.
Story Refinement
Three working lists surface stories missing AC, points or feature links. Inline edit; queue for the next pointing session.
Tech Debt Register
Every tech-debt story aggregated with status, effort and a debt ratio across the backlog. Make compromises visible.
Story DoD / DoR
Workspace-agreed Definition of Done and Definition of Ready synced into every story's lifecycle.
Plan 7
Plan with capacity that reflects reality, not optimism.
Teams
Group members into named delivery teams with split allocations, per-team unplanned reserves and over-allocation warnings.
Capacity Management
Per-sprint capacity calculator: members × allocation × availability × sprint length, minus team unplanned reserve.
Story Pointing
Collaborative sessions with Fibonacci or custom scales. Vote privately, reveal, discuss outliers, agree.
Sprint Planning
Set the sprint goal, drag refined stories into the sprint until allocated points equal target capacity.
Cadences
Capture recurring ceremonies with day, time, duration, attendees and meeting links.
Quarter View
Long-range plan combining sprint windows, cadences and target quarters in one view.
Scheduling Assistant
Auto-schedule features across team members and time windows, respecting capacity, WSJF priorities, date constraints and prerequisites. Lock start dates, detect conflicts and export the plan.
Build 4
Execute your sprint and keep the team aligned day by day.
Sprint Board
Kanban across To Do → In Progress → Review → Done. Drag-and-drop or status dropdown updates and audits the change.
Daily Standup
Per-person digest of yesterday / today / blockers, derived from the audit log and current story states. Working days only.
Burndown
Ideal vs actual remaining points across working days. Scope creep is highlighted, not hidden.
Pin to Screen
Pin features or stories to a floating panel for quick reference while working on other pages. Collapse, expand, and reorder.
Review 7
Confirm what shipped, share it, improve how the team works.
Sprint Review
Polished stakeholder summary — completed stories grouped by feature, carry-over, unplanned consumed, velocity vs rolling average.
Sprint Retrospective
Sticky-note canvas: gather, group, vote, discuss. Each action gets an owner and a due date.
Retro Actions Board
Aggregated actions across all sprints with Accept (creates a linked task), Reject (with reason) and Monitor states.
Release Notes
Generated from completed features and stories — accurate by construction, themed per workspace.
Audit Log
Append-only field-level audit of every change with full context (who, when, from, to).
Reports
Planning, Productivity, Efficiency, Health, Vision Achievement, Strategic Alignment, Capacity, Voting, User Journey, Work Intake, Product Map, Teams and more.
Teams Report
Per-team story throughput, points delivered, allocated vs. actual capacity and over-allocation trends across sprints.
Configure 8
Customise the tool to match your team's way of working.
Branding & Themes
Twelve built-in themes including extra dark schemes (Geeky, Midnight, Charcoal, Nebula, Carbon) or fully custom colours, icons, padding and radii.
Ways of Working
Workspace-defined Feature DoD, Feature DoR, Story DoD, Story DoR — synced into every feature and story automatically.
Product Hierarchy
Choose your depth: Stories only, +Features, +Epics, +Outcomes or the full Vision → Outcomes → Epics → Features → Stories stack.
RBAC & Personas
Per-persona page access and tenant overrides. Owner / Admin / PM / PO / SM / Engineer / Designer / Stakeholder / BA / Viewer.
Security Settings
IP restriction, MFA, SSO and ringfencing controls per workspace.
Integrations
Connect to Jira, GitHub, GitLab and ServiceNow. Sync stories, link commits, map statuses and keep your external tools in step with the backlog.

Multi-Workspace
Create separate workspaces with their own data, branding, hierarchy and settings. Switch instantly.
Bolt-Ons 2
Optional paid add-ons available on every subscription tier — extend Productivity Workbench beyond your plan.
AI Assistance
Add inline AI drafting and refinement controls to supported popups and editors. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI or a mock/local provider.
