"It's in the backlog!""
Now if only you had a dollar every time you said that...
As a PM, you're constantly bombarded with customer feature requests, demands from the marketing and sales teams, "cool" new ideas, bug reports, and the dreaded "the CEO wants this right away" type requests.
Meanwhile, your engineering team is overworked from shipping all those "game changing" features that never quite work out to be so.
Oh, and you still need to hit your own OKRs.
You can't say yes to everything. So, how do you figure out what to work on next? You prioritize.

Sure. If you’d like. But...Speckled gives you more info than a spreadsheet can, with intuitive item addition, 2-click roadmap creation, activity tracking, boards, and more.
If you need to add more people to the application, don’t sweat it. There are no additional per user fees with any business or growth plan.
Once your priortize, you can add things to your roadmap and then spec them out to your heart's content.
So honestly, the longer your list, the more time you’ll need. This isn’t a magic solution that automatically knows the context behind each of your ideas, so you’ll need to score each item over time.
But don't fret, because we get the feeling you'll uncover some things you'll be crazy NOT to work on in the next 90 days.
Absolutely, you can import your list from Asana or Trello. If you’re not a user of those tools, we also have a bulk import via CSV option you can use to get everything in all at once. Or you can go one by one if that’s more of your style.
As a PM, whenever a new request came in, I'd get a ping of anxiety. Can we do this? Should we do this? If we do, what gets the bump?
Using a prioritization process helped me get clear on what really mattered to the product and it's users.
Not only did my team understand my decision making rationale better, but I also finally felt in control of the roadmap.
