We just released a massive overhaul to Insights that has everything teams need to collect, analyze, and organize customer feedback and discovery interviews directly into your Opportunity-solution Trees.Vistaly now offers two different types of input for capturing insights:
Interviews - PMs, designers, and researchers can take long-form discovery interview notes right in Vistaly. You can link snippets of these notes to (as Insights) to the relevant card.
Feedback - as customer-facing teams (like sales, support, and customer success) talk to prospects and customers, they can relay product feedback and other relevant information that might inform product strategy to the product team.
Our initial thesis behind the Freemium plan was that it would be a great way for teams to get started with Vistaly. Theyβd adopt the product with a small team, and usage would spread throughout company, ultimately prompting an upgrade to paid.This rarely happens. The overwhelming majority of our paid customers convert to a paid plan relatively quickly, without a prolonged Freemium usage period.We want to sunset the Freemium tier so that we can prioritize solving for and offering assistance to people with a high level of motivation to become more Outcomes-focused.
If youβre currently on a plan, weβll be transitioning you to an state with a trial length of 60 days. This means youβll have 60-days of unlimited access to really exercise the product before deciding if you want subscribe to one of the new paid tiers.Weβre offering a lifetime discount of 10% to current Freemium users as a thank you for being part of our early community.If youβre on one of the existing paid plans, you donβt have to do anything for now. We may choose to sunset these legacy plans in the future.However, if youβd like to make changes to your existing plan, youβll need to move onto one of the new plans to do so.
Out vision for the Roadmap is that itβs a tool for communicating at a high-level the Solutions youβre working on now, and the Opportunities you are committed to addressing in the future.We found that showing Opportunities and Solutions on different views makes it hard for stakeholders to quickly understand what the product teams are doing.What are we doing to address this?
Weβre combining Opportunities and Solutions into a single unified Roadmap view (and moving Experiments to their own Experiment Tracker view).
The βstatusβ of Opportunities is now driven by child cards β parent cards will automatically take on the furthest now-next-later status of their child cards.
You can now disable the Vision Statement, Objective, or KPI card type, making it easier for your whole team to understand which cards to use and speak the same language.
Weβve updated KPI statuses to , , and . The previous set of statuses implied that you were actively working on improving the KPI. The proper way to communicate that effort is to use the Outcome (aka Key Result) card.
Weβre about to launch the ability to sort items within the Now/Next/Later Roadmap. If youβd like to get early access and give feedback, send an email to steve@vistaly.com.
More clearly separate KPIs (persistent) and Key Results/Outcomes (point-in-time). For more information and tips on using KPIs and Key Results/Outcomes, check out this guide.
