With a distributed and autonomous workforce, it’s increasingly difficult for companies to align, coordinate and collaborate across various locations and time zones. Dragonboat is the only platform that enables product teams with top-down alignment, bottom-up innovation and cross-functional collaboration.
“We are growing fast and need the right solution for portfolio management to connect roadmaps with OKRs and run our quarterly planning and tracking. After I evaluated 25 tools, I finally found Dragonboat – the only tool that suits all our use cases and is flexible to fit our ways of working, not forcing us to follow the predefined framework.” Anton Zhvakin, Product Ops at Miro explained, “Finally, we can get rid of tons of tools and formats to keep all our product portfolio data transparent and up-to-date.”
There are 10 million product leaders still using siloed spreadsheets to manage $3 trillion worth of tech resources to drive customer, market, and business results. Dragonboat provides the platform to make decisions that have the highest impact. With the $12M cash infusion, Dragonboat is hiring on all fronts to accelerate growth, product development and its mission of helping all teams best achieve product portfolio outcomes.
