Productboard decides what to build. Pathmode defines how to build it right.
Product Management Platform
Collect feedback, prioritize features, and align on what to build next.
Intent Engineering Platform
Compile user friction into structured specs for your team and your agents.
| Feature | Pathmode | Productboard |
|---|---|---|
| Core Philosophy | Intent Engineering (Define the solution) | Feature Prioritization (Pick the feature) |
| Evidence Handling | Evidence Board → IntentSpec synthesis | Feedback → Feature scoring |
| Output | Structured IntentSpecs + Constitution | Prioritized roadmap + feature cards |
| Spec Depth | Outcomes, edge cases, constraints, verification | Title + description + score |
| Agent Integration | MCP server + CLAUDE.md export | None (Jira/Linear sync only) |
| Team Alignment | Shared Constitution + workspace strategy | Drivers & scoring frameworks |
Productboard — Collect feedback, prioritize features, and align on what to build next.
Limitation: Optimized for prioritization and roadmapping, not for defining the solution. Features are titles in a backlog, not structured specs with edge cases, constraints, and verification steps. No agent integration.
Pathmode — Compile user evidence into structured IntentSpecs, deliver context to AI agents via MCP, and verify real-world impact when features ship.
