What Dragonboat is
Dragonboat is a product development lifecycle platform that connects strategy, customer and market insights, product work, execution, and outcomes in a shared operating context. Its five modular apps are Strategy, Intake, Roadmap, Planner, and PDLC. Teams can use multiple roadmap views, prioritization frameworks, release planning, requirements management, a feedback portal, and feedback imports. Planner supports capacity management, resource allocation, and scenario planning.
Dragonboat offers 200+ integrations through native connections, APIs, and MCP, including Jira, Azure DevOps, Salesforce, Slack, and Power BI. It can sync strategic context to Jira, Azure DevOps, and Rally, while execution signals flow back in real time. REST APIs provide programmatic read and write access, and an MCP server supports AI clients and agents. Dragonboat identifies product executives, portfolio operations, product managers, program and delivery leaders, and AI and automation teams as users. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, it is available through web and API access. It has a free plan and free trial. Essential offers up to 100 free read-only and requestor users; Enterprise adds support for complex organizations, custom configurations, advanced integrations, portfolio trend and risk analysis, and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
