Product Manager (PD)

Learn how m18t's Product Manager (PD) models your product as a relational tree of Solutions, Features, and Models with status rollups and a dependency graph.

The Product Development Concept

Why m18t models your product as a relational tree instead of a flat board: the PD hierarchy of Solutions, Features, Models, and the satellite entities.

Your First Solution

Create a Solution, add Features under it, and add Models under a Feature in m18t's Product Manager. Build the minimum useful PD scaffold step by step.

Status Rollups

Read the colored bar in a PD table row: how status rolls up from attribute to model to feature to solution as a distribution, and how to click through.

The Dependency Graph (Visual Analysis)

Open the PD graph from the Visual Analysis button and read its five tabs: Galaxy Map, Insights, MVC Blueprint, ERD / UML, and Event Flow, drawn from your tree.

Attaching Artifacts to PD

Attach a rich-text Artifact to any PD node — Solution, Feature, Model, or Controller — so the reasoning behind your spec lives right next to the structure.
