Difference between Impact and Value of an idea (Product Discovery)?
Asked by Alaina Gardner:

I see that Impact is rated manually as it relates to the goal. Value is supposed to be a user value. How are others differentiating these two fields and determining Value?

I'm also curious about how the Impact score is automatically taking into account Insights? Is this done through AI interpreting Insights commented, or only if we've given an Impact score to an Insight?

Lastly, does anyone know any big-name/successful SaaS companies with public roadmaps that use Jira Product Discovery? Would be helpful to see how each use it! The features are powerful but right now we separate our roadmap "project" from our main, initial project we had before we started using Product Discovery.

This is because our roadmap gets filled with some nebulous or non-priority items (ideas if you will!) and we don't want them to bog down our Backlog of more defined, decided-on tasks. Are others doing it this way? We have ideas categorized by upcoming release and we archive them when we move them from our Discovery project to defined tasks in our main project, so we're not dealing with a sprint planning Backlog that has ideas that may never be developed. But I'm interested in exploring other ways of going about this that may be better for us.

I'd love your feedback on it. I think it answers the questions you asked there, but if that's not the case then we can iterate until it does ?

Plus, it was nice getting to know your ideas in the Lenny's podcast.
