Hello JPD community,
I would love to understand how others capture, track, and manage improvement ideas for existing features of your product in Jira Product Discovery (JPD).
For example, let’s say I have a shopping app and there’s a bunch of good ideas for improvements to the cart, shared by our customers or internal stakeholders over time.
Challenges:
- Eventually, we’ll want to look at this backlog of improvement ideas and select one to work on, create a separate idea for that improvement, and link a delivery epic to it.
- We want to have one place in JPD to find all the ideas/improvement ideas related to a specific area (Cart) to see the whole picture and decide which ones to tackle.
- This setup also helps CSMs & other stakeholders check if an idea is already in our backlog for a specific feature.
Current approaches:
- One improvement idea: Create one “Cart improvements” idea in JPD and add the individual improvement ideas to its description as we hear about them in the comments or insights (or elsewhere). However, there’s no way to have one parent idea and the improvement ideas as sub-ideas - so they'll live in the description (i.e. as bullets?).
- Separate improvement ideas: For each new cart improvement idea, create a separate idea in JPD, and tag them with a “Cart” component or product area field so that they can be grouped together.
Question:
What are the best ways to track and manage these cart improvement ideas in JPD? Would love to hear about other methods or best practices that have worked well for your teams.
