Overview
Wey is built around a few key concepts that work together to help you plan and communicate your product strategy.
Item Types
Items are the building blocks of your roadmap. Wey supports a hierarchical structure of item types:| Item Type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Initiative | Large strategic efforts spanning multiple quarters | ”Mobile App Launch” |
| Epic | Major features or deliverables within an initiative | ”User Authentication” |
| Story | User-facing functionality | ”As a user, I can reset my password” |
| Task | Specific work items | ”Implement password reset API” |
| Bug | Issues to be fixed | ”Login button unresponsive on iOS” |
Organizational Structure
Products & Product Areas
Organize your roadmap by product and product area:- Products: Top-level grouping (e.g., “Web App”, “Mobile App”, “API”)
- Product Areas: Sub-divisions within a product (e.g., “Authentication”, “Dashboard”, “Reporting”)
Strategic Priorities
Strategic priorities represent your organization’s key focus areas. Items can be linked to priorities to show how work aligns with strategy.Goals
Goals are specific, measurable objectives that sit under strategic priorities. They help track progress toward your priorities.Views
