External app
Prototyping
Replit
Build and iterate on a working app from a written brief, with code and hosting in the same environment.
Use it for
Make a realistic prototype when stakeholders need to try a workflow rather than review a specification.
Keep in mind: Treat generated apps as unreviewed software. Check accessibility, authentication, data handling and failure states before real users or sensitive data enter the system.
External app
Analytics & measurement
PostHog
Bring product events, session replay, feature flags and experiments into one place to investigate behaviour and test changes.
Use it for
Connect a funnel drop-off to observed sessions, then measure a proposed improvement.
Keep in mind: Define and validate your events first. Mask sensitive fields and check consent requirements before collecting behavioural data.
External app
Analytics & measurement
Microsoft Clarity
Use session recordings and heatmaps to see where visitors hesitate, click or abandon a page.
Use it for
Investigate a confusing form or landing-page journey before designing the next test.

Prioritisation & roadmaps
Linear
Organise initiatives, projects and issues so a product decision can stay connected to delivery work.
Use it for
Turn an agreed opportunity into a scoped project with ownership, milestones and visible follow-through.
Keep in mind: A tidy backlog does not validate demand. Keep customer evidence and outcome measures attached to the work.
External app
Prioritisation & roadmaps
Jira Product Discovery
Collect ideas and supporting evidence, compare them with consistent criteria, and connect priorities to Jira delivery.
Use it for
Make roadmap trade-offs visible when several teams need to agree what happens next.
Keep in mind: Scores reflect the assumptions you enter. Record confidence, dependencies and the reason for any override.
External app
Workflow automation
n8n
Build inspectable workflows with visual steps, code and AI components for repeated product operations.
Use it for
Create a reviewed feedback-triage pipeline that classifies incoming items and drafts a weekly summary.
Keep in mind: Design approval steps, duplicate protection, error alerts and a way to stop the workflow. Self-hosting also creates maintenance and security responsibilities.
External app
Workflow automation
Zapier
Connect repeatable steps across business apps, including AI-assisted classification and drafting where appropriate.
Use it for
Route product feedback into a review queue and prepare a digest without manually copying each item.
Keep in mind: Check the exact trigger and action your apps support. Test permissions, retries and duplicate records before switching a workflow on.
External app
Collaboration & planning
Airtable
Combine linked records, views and automations to build a lightweight product-operations workspace.
Use it for
Keep research evidence, opportunities, experiments and owners connected in a shared tracker.
Keep in mind: Agree on record ownership and field definitions early. Review access and limits before using it as an operational system.
External app
AI evaluation
Langfuse
Inspect AI application traces and compare prompt or model changes against datasets and evaluation scores.
Use it for
Check whether a new AI workflow improves real tasks without regressing on important edge cases.
Keep in mind: Useful results need representative test cases and reviewed scoring criteria. Production traces may contain private data, so minimise and redact what you capture.
External app
Discovery & research
UserTesting
Gather feedback from people using concepts, prototypes and live experiences, with analysis support for finding recurring issues.
Use it for
Observe how the target audience understands and completes a task before committing to a design direction.
Keep in mind: Screen for the right participants and use neutral tasks. A small qualitative study can reveal problems but cannot estimate their population frequency.

AI evaluation
Compare AI experiments
A practical guide to comparing AI runs, inspecting individual regressions and keeping the test conditions comparable.
Use it for
Review a candidate prompt or model against a baseline before approving a release.

Marty Cagan explains how product strategy selects important problems and connects them to team objectives through evidence and leadership choices.
Use it for
Prepare a strategy discussion that names the problems to pursue, the rationale and the work you will leave aside.

A facilitated approach to defining objectives, measurable key results, ownership and regular progress reviews.
Use it for
Check whether a team objective describes a meaningful change and whether its results can actually be measured.
Keep in mind: Examples and scoring conventions are illustrative. Agree your own baselines, target rationale and distinction between commitments and stretch goals.

Prioritisation & roadmaps
3 Types of Roadmaps in UX and Product Design
Distinguishes product-wide, field and specialty roadmaps, including their owners, dependencies and collaboration challenges.
Use it for
Choose the right roadmap scope before combining product, design, engineering and go-to-market plans.

Clarifies the driver, approver, contributors and informed audience for a decision, with a record of options and the eventual outcome.
Use it for
Unblock a cross-functional choice when consultation is happening but nobody knows who can decide.

An introduction to how product strategy, empowered teams, discovery and delivery fit together, including the responsibilities of product leaders.
Use it for
Discuss which team conditions need to change before expecting ownership of outcomes.

A manager-led approach to discussing the gap between product-management capabilities and the expectations of a particular role.
Use it for
Prepare an evidence-based development conversation and choose a small number of capabilities to practise.
Keep in mind: Use as a conversation aid, not an automated employee score. Expectations need local context, direct observation and a fair human review.

PostHog shares its perspective on pricing units, customer fit, billing operations and making charges understandable and predictable.
Use it for
Generate questions about how a proposed package changes customer behaviour and what it takes to bill it reliably.

A broad launch-planning guide spanning audience research, positioning, coordination, readiness and post-launch evaluation.
Use it for
Identify missing work across product, marketing, sales and support before agreeing a launch plan.
Keep in mind: The checklist is a starting point, not proof of readiness. Add product-specific quality gates, rollback and accountable go/no-go ownership.
Article & reference
Analytics & measurement
Team goals, signals, and measures
A team exercise for translating a goal into observable signals and measures rather than stopping at a list of completed activities.
Use it for
Align on what customer or business change would count as progress before building a dashboard.
Keep in mind: A plausible signal is not evidence of causality. Check metric definitions, collection quality and whether the measure can be gamed.
