This year, product management ranks in the top 10 of Glassdoor’s 50 Best Jobs in America. And with high job satisfaction and a median base salary of $125,317, that should come as no surprise.
But, as with most professions, an individual product manager is only as good as the tools she has. We have compiled a list of our favorite top five product management tools to help you launch or maintain a successful career.
Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! Roadmaps bills itself as “The word’s #1 product development software” and “The complete product management solution,” and we could not agree more. This clear and easy access site to setting strategies, crowdsourcing ideas, tracking progress, and visualizing plans. It’s the go-to for all-in-one team productivity.
Figma
Great for really bringing in the team to work together, Figma offers an interface that is easy on the eyes and makes it so you want to use it. Figma is all about collaboration and their product Figjam allows teams to create using an online whiteboard, design process, and host team meetings. Figma also offers a free trial of their products.
Adobe XD
Adobe XD is where business meets creativity. Their creative apps allow users to fine tune their branding with resources to create online and easily share collaborative ideas with your team. This is the ideal place to create web and mobile apps.
Airfocus
This flexible platform boasts the ability to adapt to your specific needs in a way that other platforms do not. We love “Priority Poker” to boost time management interactively and inclusively. The interface is clear and straightforward for those who need things done their way right now.
