Owning entities in Productboard

The owner of an entity is the maker or the contributor who is primarily responsible for it. There can only be one owner of any given entity. By default, entities are owned by the maker who created them.

Roles: Makers and contributors can own entities or assign ownership.

Entities that have an owner

Relevant to both new and legacy boards

Owners can be assigned to:

  • Products
  • Components
  • Features
  • Subfeatures
  • Releases
  • Release groups
  • Notes
  • Initiatives
  • Objectives
  • Key results

Whenever an owned entity receives a new comment, its owner is notified via email. Most boards can be filtered by Owner. 

When a contributor creates a note, such notes remain unassigned (without an owner) until a maker or a contributor assigns themselves to another maker or contributor as the owner.

FAQ

Can entities have multiple owners?

  • No.

Can teams own entities?

  • No, but you can assign one team to Objectives or multiple teams to Key Results, Initiatives, Products, Components, Features, and Subfeatures.
