haven't used any so wouldn't endorse, but the general category is 'roadmap' tools or what used to be called 'idea management'

there are some 'release management' or 'launch management' plugins for JIRA that address the other side of the pipeline, but solve similar problems -- also haven't used, but friends who are big-company PMs talk about them

IMO many saas products are inflexible, their strength ('we automate workflows') is also a weakness ('better not deviate from these workflows')

The only project management tool I've heard people rave about is airtable, which is basically an improved spreadsheet UX and not purpose-built for project management.

I suspect the future of project management saas is tools / plugins that provide summary views, but the tickets / specs exist in freeform spreadsheets like airtable. This 'view plugin' ecosystem is alread starting to exist for notion and roam.
