ProdPad Sandbox - Explore product mgmt best practices in an interactive space!

@daryllman That's great to hear Daryll! I'm glad the many examples included help show off how a product team shapes their work. Really love that you dived right in - we designed the flow to be super frictionless. No sign up, no fuss, just pure product goodness from the moment you enter. Thanks for the feedback about trying out our core product, ProdPad. The Google/Slack permissions are necessary if you want those intergrations/log in options, but really power up your account by making it possible for your whole team to jump in with zero friction, and to sync files or conversations through, etc. So basically, a one time thing to make the whole experience better. The email sign up flow asks very little of you, and you can always add in the Google and Slack integration options later, if it's a bit much up front. The Sandbox should give you a good idea of what you get with ProdPad itself, as it includes all of the core functionality like roadmaps, OKRs, idea and feedback management, etc. The main app adds a lot more though, including collaboration and discussions, a nifty AI tool that matches and deduplicates ideas and feedback, and options for publishing your work to stakeholders across the business - a real powerhouse for product teams. Hope to see you on ProdPad in the future, Daryll! Let us know if we can ever help with anything.

@dominic_francis Hey Dominic, sorry you had a bad experience with ProdPad! From what you've said, it sounds like your colleague chose it to solve the wrong problem, so I don't blame you for finding it to not suit your purpose. ProdPad isn't a replacement for Jira or other ticketing systems. Jira is a tool for managing delivery work, and is useful for task management for development work, eg. for teams working in agile sprints. ProdPad isn't a delivery tool at all, it's a *discovery* tool, and it sits upstream from Jira. ProdPad is more about outlining the problems that the business and customers face, and using a variety of tools (OKRs, lean roadmapping, impact vs effort prioritization, etc.) to determine the best way to solve those problems - and then to send the things _to do_ over to Jira where the development team can work on delivery. Here's a doc that outlines where ProdPad fits, in the more product strategy and delivery end of things: https://help.prodpad.com/article... Most people who use ProdPad use it *with* Jira, not instead of it. I hope that helps clarify how to get the most out of it!

@jamie_hanratty Thanks Jamie! I hope you find it useful!
