changemap

changemap is a web-based tool that helps product teams build public roadmaps and engage their user community throughout the development process. It provides a structured platform where users can submit feature suggestions, vote on ideas they want to see implemented, and discuss details in comments. The system includes moderation tools to manage community engagement and helps prevent duplicate suggestions.

The platform organizes development work through customizable lists that reflect your workflow—tasks can move from 'Planned' to 'Completed,' with the completed items automatically forming your product changelog. changemap includes a dashboard for tracking activity and popularity metrics, plus browser and Slack notifications to keep everyone informed. Teams can use the in-place editor or full API to create and update tasks, and there's an embeddable widget for displaying changelogs on your own website.

changemap works best for product managers and development teams who want to build transparency with their user base. It's particularly useful for SaaS companies seeking to involve their community in prioritization decisions and for teams that want to automatically generate changelogs from their development process. The free plan supports one roadmap, with paid options for additional maps and team features.
