@johnberg Being an extension for other products has its pros and cons, but one major advantage is the exposure we gain from marketplaces like Jira, Trello, and GitHub. These platforms make it easy for people to find us, and as a result, we landed our first customer almost immediately after launching the paid plan.
@mkotsollaris What truly helped us was running user interviews. By consistently engaging with users and listening to their unique challenges, we identified common themes and needs that Planyway was effectively addressing within Trello and Jira. These interviews provided direct insights, helping us fine-tune our features to solve real problems. The positive feedback, increased engagement, and higher adoption rates following these adjustments were clear indicators that we’d reached PMF.
Of course, we use Amplitude a lot to analyze user behavior, onboarding questions, but nothing is as effective as real talk with users.
What about you?
