Beta programs
A beta feedback platform for focused product learning
Give testers a dedicated space to report problems, suggest improvements, discuss use cases, and follow changes. Productroad keeps beta conversations separate when needed while connecting strong evidence to the wider product workflow.
Create a controlled space for each beta
Use a private or segmented board for early-access customers, design partners, or an internal pilot. Separate boards by product area or test phase so participants know where to post.
Verified access, sign-in options, read-only settings, and search-index controls help the team choose who can see, create, vote, and discuss.
Turn tester conversations into structured evidence
Testers can describe workflows in Markdown, attach images, embed video, vote, and reply. Duplicate suggestions consolidate recurring problems, while tags and statuses support triage.
Internal comments let product and engineering discuss sensitive details beside the tester conversation. Assignees make ownership clear.
Communicate changes to the beta cohort
Publish a roadmap filtered for the beta and notify followers when request statuses change. A selected audience sees useful direction without receiving unrelated public roadmap noise.
Segmented changelog posts can announce fixes or new iterations to testers first. Reactions and comments provide immediate follow-up evidence.
