Using Kanban and Public Roadmaps to Ship What Users Actually Want

Collecting feedback is step one. Acting on it in a structured way is step two.

usercompass.tech helps you do both by combining:

  • A simple kanban workflow
  • A transparent public roadmap

These two tools ensure you are not just nodding at user feedback -- you are turning it into shipped features.

The Kanban Workflow: Doing -> Testing -> Finished

At the heart of usercompass.tech is a kanban-style board built specifically for feedback and features.

You will see simple, meaningful columns like:

  • Doing - Currently being worked on
  • Testing - Under QA, beta testing, or staging
  • Finished - Shipped to production

Each feedback item or feature request moves through this pipeline. That means:

  • Your team always knows what is going on
  • You can spot bottlenecks quickly
  • You can balance bugs vs. features vs. improvements

For small, fast-moving teams, this lightweight structure is often better than heavy project management tools.

From Raw Feedback to Clear Delivery

Here is how the flow looks inside usercompass.tech:

  • Feedback is submitted via your public board
  • You review and decide what to act on
  • You drag selected items into Doing
  • Developers and product owners work through the list
  • Items move into Testing, then Finished

Every step is visible to your team -- and often to your users as well, depending on what you choose to display.

Public Roadmaps: Communicate What Is Coming Next

While the kanban board shows current work, your public roadmap answers a different question:

"What is coming next for this product?"

In usercompass.tech, you can publish a roadmap that shows:

  • Planned features
  • In-progress work
  • Recently shipped updates

Your users get a clear, visual sense of where the product is going instead of needing to ask you directly.

Why This Matters for Early-Stage Startups

You are not just competing on features -- you are competing on trust and clarity.

A well-maintained kanban workflow and public roadmap:

  • Show investors that you are structured and data-driven
  • Show users that you take their input seriously
  • Show your team what to focus on next

Instead of scattered lists and guesswork, you are operating with deliberate, visible priorities.

Align Your Team Around Real User Needs

Because feedback, kanban, and roadmap all live in the same system:

  • Product decisions stay connected to actual user input
  • Developers see the context behind each task
  • Founders can confidently communicate "why"
  • Everyone pulls in the same direction

This is especially powerful for teams juggling limited time and resources.

Better Communication, Fewer Surprises

When users can clearly see:

  • What you are working on now
  • What is coming soon
  • What has been delivered

You get fewer:

  • "Any update on this?" messages
  • Repeated feature requests
  • Misaligned expectations

You transform your product narrative from reactive support to proactive communication.

Ship What Users Actually Want

At the end of the day, usercompass.tech exists so you can:

  • Capture the right feedback
  • Turn it into prioritized work
  • Show users what is happening
  • Iterate toward product-market fit faster
