Tuotelaut

Tuotelaut is a term that can refer to several related concepts within product development and management. Primarily, it is a Finnish term that translates to "product board" or "product surface." In a business context, a tuotelaut often signifies a visual representation or a system used to track and manage the progress of a product or a set of products. This can manifest in various forms, from physical whiteboards with sticky notes to sophisticated digital dashboards and project management software.

The purpose of a tuotelaut is to provide a clear overview of the product lifecycle, including development stages, features in progress, completed tasks, and potential issues. It facilitates communication and collaboration among teams, such as product managers, developers, designers, and marketing. By centralizing information, a tuotelaut helps teams stay aligned on priorities, deadlines, and the overall product strategy. Different methodologies, like Scrum or Kanban, often employ visual boards that serve as a tuotelaut, allowing for agile development and continuous improvement. The specific implementation of a tuotelaut can vary widely depending on the organization's size, industry, and preferred workflows.
