Platform Concepts & Terminology
Understand how Kansov is structured, why the Discover → Deliver lifecycle matters, and what every key term means before you dive in.
The PM Lifecycle in Kansov
Kansov organizes product work around five stages that mirror how good product management actually happens.
Key Terms
Any customer signal — a complaint, observation, request, or research finding. The atomic unit of discovery. Everything in Kansov starts here.
A potential solution or initiative addressing one or more Insights. Scored, prioritized, and promoted to the Roadmap.
A concrete piece of work to be built — the spec, the backlog item. Created from an Idea and linked back to its origin signals.
An AI workspace grounded in your live product data — Insights, Ideas, Features, Goals, Knowledge Hub. Conversations persist across sessions.
A daily writing space for free-form PM thinking. Use #tag-name inline to create Insight records without breaking your flow.
Automatically clusters your Insights into themes using semantic embeddings. 600 scattered signals become 12 actionable clusters.
How Items Connect
Customer feedback becomes an Insight. Related Insights cluster into an Idea. Strong Ideas get promoted to the Roadmap. Roadmap items get built as Features. Features ship in a Release. At every step, the original Insight remains traceable.
