Released Hub

Best for teams already using Jira or Jira Product Discovery that want customer communication connected to the work they already manage.

Released Hub customer roadmap with planning fields and personal wishlists
Released Hub’s customer roadmap shows planning fields and personal wishlists alongside upcoming work.

AI release-note drafting from Jira

Released Hub is particularly strong when delivery work already lives in Jira. Its AI drafts use selected work items as source material, while templates and writing instructions provide a consistent structure and style for updates.

Controlled roadmap publishing

Released Hub separates internal planning changes from customer-facing updates. Roadmap data stays connected to Jira, while teams decide when changes are ready to share—a useful fit for teams that need to review plans before communicating them.

Wishlists reveal what matters

Personal wishlists, configurable limits, and hidden counts encourage customers to make deliberate choices about the features they want.

Feedback connects to discovery

Bring customer feedback into Jira Product Discovery as insights, keeping customer input alongside the ideas your team evaluates.

Aha! Roadmaps

Best for product organisations that need structured planning and customer feedback in a dedicated system

Aha! strategic initiatives grouped by progress
Aha! organises strategic initiatives in a dedicated product-planning workspace.

Cross-product roadmap planning

Portfolio views combine releases from multiple workspaces, making Aha! useful when planning spans several products.

Structured demand prioritisation

Custom scorecards and vote budgets support deliberate prioritisation. Customer segmentation adds further context with Ideas Advanced.

Configurable Jira synchronisation

Two-way field and status mappings connect Aha! planning records to Jira delivery work. Direct idea linking is available through the Ideas Advanced add-on.

AI-assisted release communication

AI summarises Aha! features and requirements into release notes, with audience and style instructions. Ideas Advanced lets teams publish announcements within the customer portal.

Key differences

Capability
Released Hub
Aha! Roadmaps

Roadmap presentation and publishing

Compare the context customers can see and the control your team has over sharing plans and progress.

Teams choose the Jira fields customers see and write a separate public description for each roadmap item. This creates a customer-facing view with the planning context the team wants to share.

Jira data remains current in the backend, with control over when updates are published to stakeholders and customers.

Custom roadmaps let teams choose displayed fields and share the resulting view as a webpage. Published portal roadmaps follow changes to their underlying data.

Release-note creation and distribution

Consider how delivery work becomes a clear product update, from drafting through to publishing and distribution.

AI drafts release notes directly from selected Jira work items. Reusable templates, examples, and writing instructions guide the structure and style, with editing controls to refine the final update.

An AI request summarises a release or selected features into release notes. Reusable note templates can provide a standard structure for release announcements. Release-note prompts accept audience, format, and style instructions.

Customer demand and prioritisation

Look beyond vote totals to understand which requests matter, who needs them, and how they inform priorities.

Scoring and prioritisation use the capabilities of Jira and Jira Product Discovery, including custom formulas such as RICE in JPD.

Personal wishlists offer configurable selection limits and hidden counts, encouraging customers to choose what matters most. Why personal wishlists work better than public voting.

Custom scorecards support prioritisation factors such as RICE. Ideas Advanced adds customer segmentation and revenue analysis using connected CRM account and opportunity data, allowing priorities to reflect customer groups and commercial context alongside idea scores.

Jira integration and administration

Look at how feedback connects to Jira work and what your team needs to manage across the two tools.

Feedback on a roadmap item links automatically to its Jira work item, keeping customer input connected to the work being discussed. Teams can also link general feedback from the inbox. Jira-connected roadmaps retain control over when updates are shared publicly.

Roadmaps records can link to Jira; sending ideas directly requires Ideas Advanced. Direct idea linking uses a separate integration configuration. Direct idea-to-Jira linking requires the Ideas Advanced add-on; the Roadmaps record integration is included. Linked idea statuses can update from Jira.
