Affiliate Partners will receive a complimentary subscription license of FeaturePlan, as well as a free JumpStart training package in order to get ramped up on the software. In addition, the program offers revenue incentives to the partners that bring new opportunities to Ryma.

The Ryma Affiliate Partners program has already signed partnerships with several individuals and organizations involved in product management consulting, including:

• Ben Dair Consulting (London, UK)
• brainmates (Sydney, Australia)
• Product Arts (Seattle, WA).

“As an active professional product manager I needed a truly flexible product management system which caters for active projects while providing high visibility tools for current clients. The partnership program gives me the best of both worlds: utilisation of FeaturePlan during the project and continuous client use after my project participation ceases.” – Ben Dair, Founder of Ben Dair Consulting.

“The Australian Product Management community has matured considerably over the last 5 years and we feel that it is important that Product Managers have access to software that facilitates better Product Management,” said Adrienne Tan, Co-Founder and Director at brainmates. “Brainmates has partnered with Ryma to offer FeaturePlan to help Australian Product Management teams achieve this outcome.” – Adrienne Tan, Co-Founder and Director at brainmates.

“Most organizations still manage their core strategic product activities using spreadsheets, documents and the development team’s Defect or SCRUM tools. It’s time for a better solution, and I’m happy to be involved to try to make the whole process more manageable and cost effective with a responsive vendor.” – Don Vendetti, Founder and Principal of Product Arts.
