Every initiative with its why, its prediction and the evidence behind it.
Problems ranked by your users, initiatives with a prediction written first, and a roadmap link with nothing private on it.
14 days free. No card needed.
The roadmap is full. Its evidence is thin.
Every item on the board looks equally solid. One rests on forty tickets and three calls; another on a sales request and a hunch.
Nobody writes down what a feature was expected to change, so nobody can check. An investor asks for the roadmap and gets a screenshot with customer names on it. MindBacklog keeps the why, the evidence and the prediction with the work.
An evidence-based roadmap, from first ticket to check.
Each step is a place in the app. Every call keeps its reason.
- Learn · Problems
Problems ranked by who has them
Your users rank first; public posts and competitor reviews are shown, never counted.
- Build · Initiatives
The why above the features
Mind fills in the metric and the check date; the number you expect is always yours.
- Build · Features
One page from why to what to build
The evidence, who asked, Ready to build?, and the docs, with acceptance criteria you can tick.
- Build · Documents
Documents that say when they're stale
Every document across your product, in one list, each saying whether feedback has arrived since it was last edited.
- Build · Results
Check whether it worked
MindBacklog checks your prediction against what happened, from the source you chose, and you decide.
Feature pages hold the reason, not just the ticket.
Who asked is in their own words, with public posts and team notes shown apart and never counted.
- Stories with acceptance criteria, and the Build Pack your engineers or coding agent pull.
- A Discussion with @mentions on the feature, its stories, initiative and documents.
- Approvals say who checked what, freeze the version, and never block.
Be the PM who walks in with evidence.
When sales says the deal needs an integration, Check a request tests it against what your users actually said, for and against. The verdict is counted from people, never written by the model.
Your call on each problem (Build, Test first, Not now, No) needs a reason in one line, and is logged.
Share the why. Keep the rest private.
Roles, two-step sign-in, the audit log, and what is not confirmed yetWhat a view-only link shows
A view-only roadmap link shows no feedback, no names, no revenue and no quotes. Dates show as time budgets, never promises. Revoke stops it at once.
What leaves your workspace
Outside your workspace, your customers are counts, not people. A Build Pack carries feedback counts by channel and up to five short quotes labelled by channel only, with names, companies and contact details taken out; a shared link carries counts only. Neither carries a customer's email, plan or revenue.
Can investors or stakeholders see the roadmap without seeing customer data?
Yes, with a view-only roadmap link. You pick the initiatives and features to show, rewrite each why for outsiders, choose when it expires, and revoke it at once. Evidence shows as counts only; quotes, revenue and customers' names are never shown.
How do we hand a PRD to someone outside the tool?
Export any document as Word or Markdown, copy it for a coding agent, and turn a deck into PowerPoint you can edit. Lists export as CSV. Every export is checked against your access each time.
Who takes a seat?
Admins and editors take a seat; viewers are free. A viewer reads everything and changes nothing. From $14.99 per seat a month billed yearly (Starter $14.99, Growth $24.99, Scale $39.99), or $17.99, $29.99 and $47.99 billed monthly. 14-day trial, no card.
Is this a product discovery tool for PMs, or a founder tool?
Both, with the same data. Settings › Workspace › Words switches the whole workspace between founder words (Learn, Journey, time budget) and PM words (Discovery, Product stage, time box). Problems, Check a request, Initiatives and Results work the same either way.
Put the why on the roadmap.
Start with one initiative. Write the prediction before the build, and check it on the date.
