A side-by-side editorial comparison of GanttPRO and Productboard — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GanttPRO vs Productboard: at a glance
What is GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
What is Productboard?
Productboard v2 adds exact-match text filters as the data model keeps widening.
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types an open, workspace-specific string. Since then the data model has kept widening: rich text accepts tables and checklists, relationships hold their own field values, and as of October 15 entity search supports exact-match filtering on text fields.

◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.

◆ Current state
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types an open, workspace-specific string. Since then the data model has kept widening: rich text accepts tables and checklists, relationships hold their own field values, and as of October 15 entity search supports exact-match filtering on text fields.
◆ Where it's heading
With parity mostly done, v2 is extending the data model and making it queryable. Workspace-defined entity types and relationship fields push schema decisions into each workspace's configuration, and filter operators like eq let integrations match records precisely instead of scanning with contains.
◆ Prediction
Expect filtering and search to reach relationship fields next, following the pattern of new data shapes gaining query operators a few weeks later. Whether the beta customer score endpoint leaves beta isn't signalled by the entries.
