Strategy with a paper trail

The plan of record

Align executives, product, and delivery on one published plan — versioned, acknowledged, and auditable. Governance for product decisions, not another prioritization board.

Open SmartDocsPM See how it works

Multi-stakeholder alignment Publish · acknowledge · audit Plan of record

Planning cards: Product → Domain → Initiative → Feature. The hierarchy is the map, not the artefact.
Managed Documents: Detailed content lives under the cards — drafted, versioned, and published.
Plan of record: The published, acknowledged artefact is the product — not a private board.

The product

Cards for the map. Documents for the record.

SmartDocsPM is document-native product management. Planning cards organise the work. Managed Documents under those cards are what you publish, version, and acknowledge.

One plan the business can stand behind

Published MDs = plan of record stakeholders can acknowledge, not a private board link.

Governance without the slide shuffle

Version history, review, ack for QBRs/audits.

Alignment from strategy to delivery

Product→Domain→Initiative→Feature + specs/AC under cards.

Built for how enterprises actually decide

Multi-stakeholder / compliance-minded / SkillSync multi-brand (Training, LandManager, Aidvisor, QS Smart Docs separate).

How it works

Cards, then Managed Documents, then Acceptance Criteria.

Organise on cards. Write the record as Managed Documents. Spec a Feature with Acceptance Criteria.

Plan on cards

Lay out Product, Domain, Initiative, and Feature. The hierarchy is shared, not a private board.

Write Managed Documents

Put the detailed content under the cards. Version it. Keep drafts off the published record.

Spec + Acceptance Criteria

A Feature is a full spec plus Acceptance Criteria — readable by people and by bots.

Publish and acknowledge

Publish the artefact. Collect acknowledgment. The acknowledged version is the plan of record.

Who it’s for

PMs who need a record, not another board.

Solo PM

One person needs AI to draft, score, and publish a living plan.

PM on a team

Shared artefacts with review and acknowledgment — not a private board.

PM at a large org

Multi-stakeholder packs plus a versioned audit trail.

Compliance-minded orgs

Publish, acknowledgment, and version history on the artefacts that matter.

SkillSync multi-brand customers

A PM brand alongside Training, LandManager, Aidvisor, and QS Smart Docs — different buyer, different chrome.

Honest comparison

vs boards

Not another prioritization board. Not Productboard. The published, acknowledged artefact is the product — a document-native plan of record. Not affiliated.

vs	Their shape	Our wedge
Prioritization boards	Board / AI-first tools that treat the board as primary chrome.	We lead with publish, acknowledgment, and versioned artefacts. Same PM jobs; artefacts are managed docs, not a board as primary chrome. Not affiliated.
Productboard / Aha! / Craft	Board-heavy roadmaps and maker seats.	They are board-heavy; we are the published, acknowledged artefact.
Notion	DIY docs plus AI, without a formal acknowledgment product in the research pass.	Docs without a formal acknowledgment product.

Next step

Open the plan of record.

Planning cards plus Managed Documents that publish, version, and get acknowledged.
