Released Hub

Best for teams already using Jira or Jira Product Discovery that want customer communication connected to the work they already manage.

AI release-note drafting from Jira

Released Hub is particularly strong when delivery work already lives in Jira. Its AI drafts use selected work items as source material, while templates and writing instructions provide a consistent structure and style for updates.

Controlled roadmap publishing

Released Hub separates internal planning changes from customer-facing updates. Roadmap data stays connected to Jira, while teams decide when changes are ready to share—a useful fit for teams that need to review plans before communicating them.

Wishlists reveal what matters

Personal wishlists, configurable limits, and hidden counts encourage customers to make deliberate choices about the features they want.

Feedback connects to discovery

Bring customer feedback into Jira Product Discovery as insights, keeping customer input alongside the ideas your team evaluates.

Jira Product Discovery

Best for product teams that want to collect evidence, score ideas, and connect discovery to Jira delivery.

Jira Product Discovery organises ideas, prioritisation fields, and delivery context in shared discovery views.

Insights connected to ideas

Capture supporting evidence and rate its impact before deciding what to build.

Discovery connected to delivery

Link prioritised ideas to Jira work and follow delivery progress from discovery.

Limited public portal

Public sharing provides read-only discovery views. Visitors can browse, filter, and sort ideas, but cannot submit feedback or vote. Participation needs an invited Atlassian account or a connected Jira Service Management portal. Published views also exclude votes, custom formulas, and insight counts.

Standalone discovery scope

Product Collection’s Feedback app and Rovo workflows are available through a separate early access program requiring Jira Product Discovery Premium. These comparisons cover standalone Jira Product Discovery.

Key differences

Capability
Released Hub
Jira Product Discovery

Roadmap presentation and publishing

Compare the context customers can see and the control your team has over sharing plans and progress.

Teams choose the Jira fields customers see and write a separate public description for each roadmap item. This creates a customer-facing view with the planning context the team wants to share.

Jira data remains current in the backend, with control over when updates are published to stakeholders and customers.

Jira Product Discovery’s public sharing is limited to read-only views. Visitors can browse, filter, and sort ideas, but cannot submit feedback or vote.

Teams can choose which supported fields and descriptions appear, but votes, reactions, custom formulas, and insight counts cannot be published. Customer participation needs invited contributor access or a connected Jira Service Management portal.

Customer demand and prioritisation

Look beyond vote totals to understand which requests matter, who needs them, and how they inform priorities.

Scoring and prioritisation use the capabilities of Jira and Jira Product Discovery, including custom formulas such as RICE in JPD.

Personal wishlists offer configurable selection limits and hidden counts, encouraging customers to choose what matters most. Why personal wishlists work better than public voting.

Build custom prioritisation formulas with roll-ups, weighted scores, and expressions.

Jira integration and administration

Look at how feedback connects to Jira work and what your team needs to manage across the two tools.

Feedback on a roadmap item links automatically to its Jira work item, keeping customer input connected to the work being discussed. Teams can also link general feedback from the inbox. Jira-connected roadmaps retain control over when updates are shared publicly.

Link discovery ideas to existing Jira work items or create new delivery work.

Feedback collection and conversations

Consider how easily customers can share feedback and continue the conversation with your team.

A shared inbox brings feedback threads, search, workspace/status filters, and keyboard shortcuts into one place. Replies stay in the original thread, keeping each conversation and its context together.

Organise insights with labels and impact ratings, then use that evidence to prioritise ideas.

Public views are read-only. Collecting customer requests and continuing conversations requires invited contributor access or a connected Jira Service Management setup.

Use Jira Product Discovery and Released Hub together

Keep discovery in JPD and give customers a clear place to participate. Explore how the workflow connects.

Plan with Jira Product Discovery, communicate with Released Hub

Keep capturing ideas, gathering evidence, and scoring priorities in Jira Product Discovery. Released Hub gives customers and stakeholders one place to share feedback, follow your roadmap, and read release notes.

Give customers one place to follow your product

Don’t make stakeholders chase links. Bring your roadmap, feedback, and product updates together in a branded portal. Choose public access or restrict the portal to the audience you want to reach.

Tailor the roadmap to customers, sales, or leadership so each audience can see what matters to them without navigating the internal Jira workspace. Keep the public view connected to selected Jira work items and JPD ideas.

Collect feedback and turn it into discovery insights

Customers and stakeholders can comment on roadmap items and submit feedback on ideas. That gives them a direct way to explain what they need and continue the conversation with your team.

Review feedback from your portals in one inbox, organise the conversations, and connect them to the relevant Jira work item or JPD idea. Replies stay with the feedback, keeping the customer’s context close to the work.

Feedback can become insights on the connected JPD idea. Authenticate the Jira Product Discovery connection in feedback settings first; incoming feedback can then reach discovery without copying each comment by hand.

Let customers choose what matters most

Each customer can curate a personal wishlist of roadmap items. Set a selection limit to encourage deliberate choices and keep wish counts hidden from customers to reduce the influence of other people’s votes. Your team can use those signals alongside the evidence in JPD.

Share work across Jira teams and projects

Product communication often spans several teams. Connect work from Jira Software, Jira Product Discovery, and Jira Service Management projects, then choose what to share in the portal. The roadmap stays close to the work your teams already manage.

Close the loop with release notes from Jira work

When work ships, turn the relevant Jira work items into a release-note draft. Use the AI copywriter for the first pass, then focus your editing on the customer benefit and the story behind your headline features. Review the update before publishing it through your portal or other release-note channels.

Frequently asked questions

Sharing plans, collecting feedback, and keeping customers informed.

What is the difference between Jira Product Discovery and Released Hub?

Jira Product Discovery is where product teams capture evidence, prioritise ideas, and connect planned work to delivery. Released Hub adds a branded place to collect customer feedback, share selected roadmap items, and publish release notes. Teams can use both together.

Does Jira Product Discovery offer an idea portal?

JPD supports published views and contributor participation, and can collect requests through a connected Jira Service Management portal. Released Hub adds a branded product portal where customers can submit feedback, comment on roadmap items, and maintain personal wishlists without access to your internal planning space.

Does Released Hub only work with Jira Product Discovery?

No. Released Hub also works with Jira Software. Share selected Jira work through a customer-facing roadmap and release notes, then add JPD when you need a dedicated discovery and prioritisation workflow.

How do I share JPD ideas or roadmaps outside my team?

JPD can publish views for people outside your team when your plan, permissions, and site settings allow it. For a branded portal that also collects feedback and publishes release notes, use Released Hub to choose which Jira or JPD items customers see and how those items are presented.

Compare JPD view sharing and portal publishing
Can I collect feedback from people who don’t use Jira?

Yes. People with access to your Released Hub portal can submit feedback and comment on roadmap items without access to the internal Jira project. Your team can link that feedback to the relevant Jira work item or JPD idea.

Can I automate release-note drafting from JPD delivery work?

Released Hub can draft release notes from the relevant Jira work. When delivery work connected to a JPD idea is complete, select the items that belong in the update and use the draft as the starting point for your customer-facing story. Your team reviews and publishes the update.

How can I track visits to a JPD published view?

Atlassian’s published-view documentation describes sharing and access controls but does not document a view-visit counter. If visit measurement is a requirement, confirm the available analytics before choosing a publishing approach. Released Hub’s portal access, branding, and feedback features are separate from measuring visits to a JPD view.
