Lionbridge improves roadmap standardization, prioritization, and stakeholder buy-in.

For more than two decades, Lionbridge has been a go-to provider of translation services. Maintaining its technical infrastructure, onboarding new clients, and customizing & optimizing workflows for existing ones requires many initiatives running in parallel. Lionbridge faced the challenge of consistently formatting and maintaining roadmaps for these many initiatives. This posed an additional challenge of communicating roadmaps with stakeholders.

Lionbridge needed a roadmapping solution that offered consistent formatting and a centralized location for roadmaps. The ideal solution would be simple and intuitive to use. Lionbridge decided on ProductPlan based on its ease of use, collaboration and sharing capabilities, and reasonable price point.

Immediately after implementing ProductPlan, Lionbridge reported their teams spent less time formatting their roadmaps and more time on other important work. The team quickly adapted to using tags and views within ProductPlan, helping them avoid creating redundant roadmaps for portfolios.

An additional benefit Lionbridge reports is the ability to prioritize and provide context to stakeholders on why teams are working on specific initiatives and not others. This ability improves transparency and decision-making.
