Product Management (PRODUCT)
Synchronize business goals with development speed to optimize product evolution.
Roadmap / Gantt Chart
Manage development stages on a timeline to visualize the big picture.
- Milestones: Visualize releases, demos, and key events with color coding.
- Period Consistency Validation: Tasks within a project cannot exceed the project's start and end dates. This rule applies to drag-and-drop operations, and inconsistent changes are automatically rolled back.
- Time-based Allocation: Identify resource surpluses or shortages based on individual member utilization.
Growth Loop
Model and visualize the circular structures (loops) that drive product growth to formulate sustainable strategies.
Loop Canvas
- Nodes & Edges: Place elements like acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and monetization as nodes and connect them with edges (lines).
- Visualization: Visually understand where value is created and where it is reinvested.
Growth Analysis
- Conversion Tracking: Measure conversion rates between nodes and Loop Speed (time for one full rotation).
- Bottleneck Identification: Use data to identify "leaks" or "friction" hindering growth and clarify high-priority improvement points.
Delivery Analysis (Value Funnel)
Visualize the flow of value from idea generation to delivery in a funnel format.
- Dwell Time by Stage: Measure how long items stay in each stage: Planning, Design, Development, Review, and Release.
- Automatic Bottleneck Detection: Display alerts when items accumulate in a specific stage (long queues) to encourage process improvement.
Resource Allocation Management
Manage human resource distribution across projects to prevent overload or shortages.
- Allocation Planning: Plan utilization percentages for each member (e.g., "Project A: 50%, Project B: 50%").
- Actual Work Logs: Members record actual utilization via the "Work Log," and managers compare it against the plan to verify allocation validity.
- Team View: Visualize the ratio of project requirements to the team's total capacity.
Product Stats
A dashboard for quantitatively evaluating product development health.
- Throughput: Number of backlog items completed per unit of time (Sprint/Month).
- Cycle Time: Average time from starting an item to completion.
- Backlog Health: Number of "Ready" backlog items in stock. Detects depletion or excessive accumulation.
Product Backlog
Dynamically adjust priorities and clarify the "most important thing" for the team.
- Estimated Points: Quantify the complexity or scale of each item. Used for velocity measurement and progress calculation.
- Blocker Management: Mark factors hindering progress to facilitate resolution.
- Drag-and-Drop Prioritization: Intuitively change the order of ideas and tasks.
- Automatic Progress Tracking: Real-time project progress updates based on task status changes.
Separation of Ideas (Planning) and Tasks (Execution)
EM-OS clearly distinguishes items based on their phase.
- Ideas (Planning): Hypotheses or requests before they become projects. Managed as a global backlog to allow for flexible thinking without hindering delivery.
- Tasks (Execution): Specific units of work linked to a project. These contribute directly to project goals and timelines.
Once an idea matures and is decided upon, it can be "Promoted" to a project for smooth transition to execution.
