Collecting and qualifying ideas and suggestions from your team can be a complicated and time consuming process. Particularly if you use docs or spreadsheets.

You need to collect together all that feedback from multiple channels. Then you have to manually prioritise, based on a variety of criteria, some more subjective that you’d like.

It’s hard to quickly see which ideas are most popular and to encourage everyone to add their own ideas without doing horrible things to your document structure.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Benefits of a product ideas board

1. Collect feedback in different languages

I’m writing this in English, but our team is multi-lingual and we’re actually based in Barcelona. We have customers in more than 32 countries around the world. We’re ambitious about being a global company, and we’re sure you are too.

Feature Upvote makes it easy for you to host your product ideas board in the language that your team and customers use, including: English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Spain).

Feature Upvote also works on all devices, whether your customers have mobiles, tablets, laptops or standalones.

3. Easy to test out a specific idea

If a manager has an idea that they think is a winner, you can test this out with your entire team.

Simply pin the idea to the top of your product ideas board (perhaps with a custom tag to say #testidea or similar) and see whether the idea attracts votes or comments.
