It’s one thing to just enter an idea into ProdPad (in fact, it’s incredibly easy<\/a>\u00a0as far as idea management software<\/a> goes).

But it’s another to come up with the creative idea in the first place.

And yet another to be the idea owner, the person with the vested interest in seeing that idea get turned into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n

While the ideas you and your team enter in ProdPad can come from many sources, we found that, more often than not, the Product Manager was the primary person in charge of actually entering the ideas.

But since the person who created the idea isn’t necessarily the original author of the idea, nor the person tasked with bringing it to life, we’ve made some changes.

You can now set someone as the idea Owner or Author.<\/p>\n\n\n

Idea Owner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While someone may come up with an idea, someone else may be better suited to following up and developing the idea. By giving them the role of Idea Owner, you give them the ability to build out the product specs, jump in on the discussion around the idea, and be kept in the loop on any changes to the idea.

So now, as the Product Owner, you can assign ownership of an idea so that you can task the right people with further exploration or documentation to support an idea or kill it.

How do be an effective idea owner:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
