Our product managers need to be able to on the front end change the status of ideas (from New to Gathering Interest, Planned for Development, Implemented and/or Parked.) Could this be possible by giving product managers a user role permission? We have 50ish product managers, and it is not fair (and we can’t) pay for admin licenses for all these Product Managers to only change product idea statuses. The lack of this functionality for Product Mangers is a true blocker for engagement in our community so it will be crucial for us to get this in place. We have very specialized product managers so it is not a solution for us to enable this functionality only for one Product Manager as he/she/hen will not be able to reply on behalf of the other Product Managers. We’ve tried to work offline in Excel for this, but taking some of the ideation work outside the tool does not work. It is also a dysfunctional process in Productboard with the limitations there. @Julian @leo-inspired  

 

Hi @Anitahg! This is a very fair and reasonable ask. It does require though a robust strategy on our end to be bringing the persona of product manager into our product more efficiently and the implications of commercials aspects, but I’m happy to hear more thoughts and needs around this from our community. So thank you for raising this with us!

@Cristina on “It does require though a robust strategy for bringing the persona of product manager into our product”: our product managers own the product, its feature requests and strategy, so for us its a clear must that product managers can change the idea statuses. Could you please specify what you refer to with “ the implications of commercials aspects”?
