"Your product stack might feel like you have a million browser tabs open all at once. It's chaotic, but you swear that you know where everything is on your browser. However, it's hard to convince others that it's an effective workflow. The worst part is that many of these tools work in a silo. It's easy to lose information, important notes, and consumer data between them. And don't forget the internal pressure to use fewer tools and cut the budget."
"To get started, list all the tools your product team uses. You'll want to identify: Tool deliverables and outcomes Performance and tool usage Unused features A systematic analysis can pinpoint which tools to keep, replace, or remove. It also gives you the chance to find overlapping features and underperforming tools. You can also gather feedback from your team on their pain points with tools. Leverage their firsthand knowledge to find tools that work best for your team."
Begin by listing every tool the product team uses and identify each tool's deliverables, performance metrics, and unused features. Conduct a systematic analysis to pinpoint which tools to keep, replace, or remove, revealing overlapping capabilities and underperforming vendors. Gather team feedback on pain points and leverage firsthand knowledge to select tools that fit workflows. Measure tool usage frequency to evaluate ROI. Define consolidation priorities that support roadmapping, backlog management, analytics, and alignment with company strategy. Address drivers such as standardization, budget limits, visibility and data silos, leadership changes, business-case gaps, and security concerns.
