Stories on Board is an integral part of our Agile Cycle
Stories on Board is an integral part of our Agile Cycle
Pros
According to me if you are familiar with and have effectively utilized story mapping in your development process, this question might sound rhetorical. However, just in case my top two favorite aspects would be the collaborative functionality for story mapping and secondly, I like the road mapping and project reporting capabilities it offers.
Cons
Honestly I can't think of anything I dislike about the software. If I do come across any issues I reach out to their support, and they promptly address them. It is not possible for me to describe any cons here.

The functions I like the most are steering through the keyboard, assistance, modern redesign, filtering and incorporating color.

I only have 2 tools I consider essential for my job, and storiesonboard is one of them!
I only have 2 tools I consider essential for my job, and storiesonboard is one of them!
Pros
What I like the most about storiesonboard is how flawlessly it supports the technique of story mapping which aims to create shared understanding through externalized thinking. When I ask someone to explain their project, I can easily visualize their explanations at the same time. This is how simple it is to use. I use it to visually map various projects I am working on, ranging from large scale software projects to planning my own home renovations. When collaborating with clients, it assists as the starting point to visualize the scope, provides context for estimations, forms the basis for client offers and offers an overview to track progress once we begin.
Cons
The export to Excel is functional but could be improved. It would be better if it exported content to new columns instead of comments. Additionally, I hope for the ability to insert a story map in a whiteboarding tool like Miro to enhance the visual organization of relevant information.

Pros
I often have meetings where we gather a diverse group of offline and online stakeholders. StoriesOnBoard has been priceless in structuring these meetings while brainstorming product design and the end-to-end process. The resulting output can be easily advanced during follow-up meetings or exported to Excel or PDF for sharing within the organization.

I wish I could convince my organization to use this tool more frequently.

Takes the pain out of sprint 0 and keeping your high-level vision in focus
Takes the pain out of sprint 0 and keeping your high-level vision in focus
Pros
Stories on board doesn't try to do everything and this is the reason I love it the most. It excels in various departments as it has so many different features and epics also it is serving as a workspace for planning and grooming stories before they enter the development phase. I extensively use it to add features, stories and tasks needed for a product build, often before the build's structure is fully defined. Once in the tool, I can easily rearrange stories, split them if they are too large, merge similar stories and then seamlessly integrate them with Jira for managing sprints. Additionally, I can pull the backlog from Jira to organize upcoming sprints and releases.
Cons
Currently, there are two features that I would love to have as it will greatly improve my experience. Firstly, StoriesOnBoard only connects to one instance of Jira which is fine for product companies but insufficient for consulting firms like ours that use our own Jira instance and client Jira instances. Also I am eagerly awaiting support for multiple Jira instances. Secondly, I would like to have sprint-level swimlanes in StoriesOnBoard in addition to the existing release-level swimlanes. Although I can work around this by using releases named Sprint 1, Sprint 2, etc would be more convenient if it were a native feature.

Pros
The integration with JIRA is the standout feature of this software. The cards effortlessly integrate with JIRA and appear on my board. Another great aspect is the ability to divide projects into multiple releases.
Cons
I am not certain if there is an option to reverse integrate from JIRA stories to StoriesOnBoard. Having this feature would greatly benefit us as we could easily onboard existing projects.

Does the main thing well, but needs an upgrade
Does the main thing well, but needs an upgrade
Pros
StoriesOnBoard is the go to tool in my company for organizing user stories. The reason is that they were one of the first among all to introduce a visually appealing way to view all user stories together, facilitating planning and prioritization decisions. However, the platform hasn't evolved beyond that basic premise to provide the value that product managers are currently seeking from such tools.
Cons
The thing that is lacking is Real-time collaboration in StoriesOnBoard, and this is a major drawback of the product. In todays world tools like Miro are replacing StoriesOnBoard because they enable real-time collaboration among groups of people, even though they lack easy ways to attach details or estimates to the stories. StoriesOnBoard is primarily designed for one person to edit the board at a time.

Sometimes it feels like the product is incomplete. When exporting the backlog/story map, the colors disappear.

Stories on Board is an integral part of our Agile Cycle
Stories on Board is an integral part of our Agile Cycle
Pros
According to me if you are familiar with and have effectively utilized story mapping in your development process, this question might sound rhetorical. However, just in case my top two favorite aspects would be the collaborative functionality for story mapping and secondly, I like the road mapping and project reporting capabilities it offers.
Cons
Honestly I can't think of anything I dislike about the software. If I do come across any issues I reach out to their support, and they promptly address them. It is not possible for me to describe any cons here.

I only have 2 tools I consider essential for my job, and storiesonboard is one of them!
I only have 2 tools I consider essential for my job, and storiesonboard is one of them!
Pros
What I like the most about storiesonboard is how flawlessly it supports the technique of story mapping which aims to create shared understanding through externalized thinking. When I ask someone to explain their project, I can easily visualize their explanations at the same time. This is how simple it is to use. I use it to visually map various projects I am working on, ranging from large scale software projects to planning my own home renovations. When collaborating with clients, it assists as the starting point to visualize the scope, provides context for estimations, forms the basis for client offers and offers an overview to track progress once we begin.
Cons
The export to Excel is functional but could be improved. It would be better if it exported content to new columns instead of comments. Additionally, I hope for the ability to insert a story map in a whiteboarding tool like Miro to enhance the visual organization of relevant information.

Takes the pain out of sprint 0 and keeping your high-level vision in focus
Takes the pain out of sprint 0 and keeping your high-level vision in focus
Pros
Stories on board doesn't try to do everything and this is the reason I love it the most. It excels in various departments as it has so many different features and epics also it is serving as a workspace for planning and grooming stories before they enter the development phase. I extensively use it to add features, stories and tasks needed for a product build, often before the build's structure is fully defined. Once in the tool, I can easily rearrange stories, split them if they are too large, merge similar stories and then seamlessly integrate them with Jira for managing sprints. Additionally, I can pull the backlog from Jira to organize upcoming sprints and releases.
Cons
Currently, there are two features that I would love to have as it will greatly improve my experience. Firstly, StoriesOnBoard only connects to one instance of Jira which is fine for product companies but insufficient for consulting firms like ours that use our own Jira instance and client Jira instances. Also I am eagerly awaiting support for multiple Jira instances. Secondly, I would like to have sprint-level swimlanes in StoriesOnBoard in addition to the existing release-level swimlanes. Although I can work around this by using releases named Sprint 1, Sprint 2, etc would be more convenient if it were a native feature.

Cons

Does the main thing well, but needs an upgrade
Does the main thing well, but needs an upgrade
Pros
StoriesOnBoard is the go to tool in my company for organizing user stories. The reason is that they were one of the first among all to introduce a visually appealing way to view all user stories together, facilitating planning and prioritization decisions. However, the platform hasn't evolved beyond that basic premise to provide the value that product managers are currently seeking from such tools.
Cons
The thing that is lacking is Real-time collaboration in StoriesOnBoard, and this is a major drawback of the product. In todays world tools like Miro are replacing StoriesOnBoard because they enable real-time collaboration among groups of people, even though they lack easy ways to attach details or estimates to the stories. StoriesOnBoard is primarily designed for one person to edit the board at a time.

The features I like the most were the capability to share, ease of use and the option to export files in backlog or story map format. Additionally, the online customer service was highly satisfactory.
Cons
Sometimes it feels like the product is incomplete. When exporting the backlog/story map, the colors disappear.
