Arkweaver vs. Jira Product Discovery

Introduction

Jira Product Discovery is Atlassian’s attempt to modernize PM tools — but it still operates inside the same paradigm:

The PM is responsible for manually gathering insights, writing specs, prioritizing work, and communicating the roadmap.

It’s a better cockpit for PMs.
It’s not a new engine.

What Jira Product Discovery Is

JPD gives PMs:

• A backlog of ideas
• Prioritization views
• Linking feedback to ideas
• Workflow organization
• Roadmaps
• A scoring and weighting framework

It is built to:

• Help PMs organize
• Provide visibility to engineering
• Centralize PM artifacts
• Manage ideas → tickets

It still expects PMs to:

• Gather insights manually
• Write documents manually
• Communicate with stakeholders manually
• Align cross-functional teams manually
• Manage customer promises manually

This is the old product org — digitized.

What Arkweaver Does Instead

Arkweaver automates the workload JPD organizes:

• Auto-identifies feature requests
• Auto-prioritizes based on demand + revenue impact
• Auto-generates documentation
• Auto-aligns Sales, CS, Leadership
• Auto-notifies requesters
• Auto-builds customer profiles
• Auto-provides an AI PM to answer every question

Jira organizes your work.
Arkweaver does the work.
