SpeqForgeJira gives you another board. We give you people to fill it.
Jira Product Discovery is where ideas get fields, scores and a view your delivery team already lives next to. SpeqForge is the team that produces what goes on it, reading the feedback, ranking on evidence, writing the specs, and reviewing them before anyone commits.

Your side with Jira Product Discovery
the tool, plus youIdea board
Custom fields, scoring formulas, matrix and timeline views, and ideas that link straight to delivery epics. If you already run Jira, the connection is the strongest thing about it.
Insight capture
Attach customer quotes and links to an idea, once someone has read the source and decided which idea it belongs to.
Who covers the work
“Here are 200 support tickets from the last quarter. What should we build next?”
A board with the fields you configured. Someone reads all 200, creates the ideas, attaches the insights and sets the scores, and the impact number they type is a guess wearing a formula. The maths is only ever as good as the two days of reading behind it.
- 00:40PM clusters all 200 into themes and counts how often each is raised
- 02:10Themes ranked by frequency and revenue at risk, each with the tickets that back it
- 06:30Top five written up as specs, with user stories, acceptance criteria and effort
- 08:00QA adds edge cases; CTO flags the one that needs a schema change
- 08:15All five on the board, prioritised, ready to pick up
Where we differ
The scoring formula is not the hard part
Any board can multiply impact by confidence. The expensive part is the reading and judgment that produce the numbers, and that is what the roster does.
Nothing to configure first
Discovery boards start as a project: fields, views, scoring schemes, permissions, an administrator. SpeqForge starts by being briefed in plain language and returning work the same day.
Specs, not one-line ideas
An idea that reaches delivery as a title is re-litigated in refinement. Every item here carries context, scope, inputs and a definition of done, because whoever picks it up cannot ask a follow-up question.
The customer-facing half
A public portal, voting and a changelog are built in, and a Customer Success worker replies to the people who posted. Discovery boards are internal by design.
Where Jira is better
If your engineering org lives in Jira, the native link from idea to epic to sprint is real and we do not match it. Its permissions, admin controls and custom field modelling are also deeper.
It ends in a shipped app
The same work item can be built for web, desktop or mobile, then tested and previewed, rather than handed across to a separate delivery process.
Questions people ask
We already pay for Jira. Why add anything?
Because the licence is not the constraint. The reading and writing is. If your discovery board is full of thinly-scored one-line ideas, that is the symptom this addresses.
Can we keep Jira for delivery?
Yes, and many teams do. Jira credentials are stored per user, so finished specs can go across as issues while discovery, research and review happen here.
Does SpeqForge replace the workboard too?
It has one, with items, cycles, priorities and nesting, and for smaller teams it is enough on its own. Against Jira at enterprise scale it is not, and we would not argue otherwise.
How long is setup?
Under an hour, with no administrator involved. You describe the product, brief the workers, and delegate. There are no fields or scoring schemes to design first.
