"airfocus has been incredibly useful when it comes to aligning everyone around the vision and handling ideas. We are now focusing on what really matters."

An easy-to-use platform
that people love

The airfocus UI is set up in a way so that you are not distracted by features and elements you don't need, making the tool easy to use and accelerating the adoption rate for your entire team. No more overly-complicated interface and an overwhelming amount of features that get in your way. airfocus provides custom fields, views, and apps to solve the problems you have right now.

With a highly customizable platform, you can build transparency and open up your product workflows, standardize processes, and concentrate on what matters most: your customers.

Create a product stack
that fits your needs

As your team and product mature, extend your stack to solve additional problems, maximize cross-team collaboration, and adapt airfocus to the way you work.

Get started with a roadmap, use integrations to sync your backlog, add a connected feedback process, and involve your team when you are ready. Anyone can get started quickly with a set of pre-defined workspace templates that can be adapted and customized to suit your team's needs.

With the ability to customize airfocus your way set privacy and security measures and involve your team with advanced collaboration methods - the platform adds a unique flair to your team's overall experience.

Unique work environments
for all of your teams

No company has the same set of processes and workflows, so why use a tool that provides an overwhelming amount of features that do not apply to all teams?

Designed with flexibility in mind, airfocus' apps allow you to organize your teams, products, or units as needed. With our modular approach, you have the ability to choose the features you need, drop the ones you don't, and design a product home that is right for you.

Make cross-team collaboration and team alignment easy by sharing information across workspaces, creating dependencies, and visualizing how your team can work together efficiently.

Make prioritization inclusive

With airfocus' Priority Poker app, teams can stop working in silos, benefit from cross-functional team’s expertise, win their buy-ins, and ensure that product decisions can be made in alignment live or asynchronously.

The most flexible platform to build products that matter

How airfocus and Advanced Roadmaps for Jira compare:

	airfocus	Jira
Product-focused platform	Aside from creating roadmaps, PMs also manage discovery, gather feedback, and much more, which means they need dedicated product workflows that support all the tasks they perform. airfocus is a product-focused platform and has dedicated PM apps to help solve specific product problems instead of development problems. Everything you need to do for product is in one place.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira is only a development extension of Jira that focuses on roadmaps. It is output-focused and looks only at the development context with a timeline. As a PM using this tool, you’re just managing roadmaps. Finding the right solution within the tool can be time costly, and it’s not guaranteed that it solves the right problems for you.
Informed roadmaps	At airfocus, we understand that no roadmap ever stood the test of time. In airfocus, you can build informed roadmaps (including OKRs, feedbacks and personas etc) that focus on outcomes with team objectives.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira offers limited views which is a narrow view of what is happening in the business and product. A good roadmap should be aligned to the business needs, not just the needs of the development team.
Custom prioritization frameworks	Customizable prioritization framework based on custom fields, values and criteria that feed into an algorithm.	You cannot customize the priority framework. You can only change the type of scale but cannot customize the scale at all.
Priority chart	Gain insights on what are your quick wins, and don't dos on a 2x2 prioritization matrix.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira does not offer this view.
Collaborative prioritization / Priority Poker app	Priority Poker is an interactive, collaborative, and inclusive way to prioritize as a group and make decisions in the most time-efficient manner.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira is only a development tool. It does not offer Priority Poker or inclusive prioritization.
Advanced feedback management	Use the Insights and the Forms app to gather and centralize feedback in order to inform product discovery. You can create multiple dedicated feedback workspaces with customizable workflows.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira does not have this function. You miss out on essential information product managers need, such as customer feedback and other added context.
Ease of setup	airfocus is an easy-to-use platform. You can create and remove things whenever you want.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira is a complex and rigid tool. It is difficult to manage because there are so many options which are quite hidden and hard to find. Therefore, it is not as flexible as it seems to be.
Easy-to-use interface	The airfocus UI is set up in a way so that you are not distracted by features and elements you don’t need, making the tool easy to use and accelerating the adoption rate for your entire team.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira changes their UI constantly but their documentation are not updated accordingly which creates more confusion for the user. It’s a time consuming process for users to navigate and to make changes to their workflows.
Templates	Get started with easy-to-use templates: from roadmaps to prioritization frameworks, all ready to go.	Advanced Roadmaps for Jira does not offer a variety of templates.
