​
Overview

Products and Product Areas help you organize roadmap items into logical groupings. This is especially useful for teams working on multiple products or large products with distinct areas.
Products and Product Areas

​
Understanding the Structure

​
Products

Products are top-level organizational units:
  • Example: “Web App”, “Mobile App”, “API Platform”
  • Use when you have multiple distinct products
  • Each product can contain multiple product areas

​
Product Areas

Product Areas are sub-divisions within a product:
  • Example: “Authentication”, “Dashboard”, “Reporting”, “Billing”
  • Items are assigned to product areas
  • Product areas appear as swimlanes on the Timeline View
Product: Web App
├── Product Area: User Management
├── Product Area: Dashboard
└── Product Area: Reporting

Product: Mobile App
├── Product Area: iOS
└── Product Area: Android

Best Practices

Align product areas with team ownership for clear accountability.
Start with fewer, broader product areas and add more as needed.
Choose a color palette that’s easy to distinguish across your product areas.
Update product areas as your product evolves to keep the structure relevant.

Strategic Priorities

Align items with strategic priorities.
