Components let you organize your product backlog into areas, themes, or teams. They contain your Discoveries — the product opportunities and ideas you explore and prioritize.

You can nest multiple levels of Components and sub-Components to mirror your product's hierarchy. They're accessible from the left navigation bar in the Product section.

The right structure depends on how your products and teams are already organized. Some common approaches:

Here are three real examples, from us and from our customers.

We organize our Components around our main product areas and Jobs-to-be-Done: Feedback, Integrations, Discovery, and so on.

We added a Transversal Component for opportunities that don't belong to any single area, and a Competition Component where we centralize every piece of feedback comparing us to competitors — a useful way to see our strengths and weaknesses in one place.

We deliberately kept the hierarchy simple, with a single level of sub-Components.

A bank operating in several countries could use one top-level Component per country, given the differences in user experience and regulation, with sub-Components for product areas underneath.

A CRM vendor could organize top-level Components by persona, since each persona experiences the product differently and has access to different features. Alongside those, a Component for integration requests and another for product growth experiments.

Use the Add component button at the bottom of your Components list.

Add sub-Components inside an existing Component to go one level deeper.

Click a Component's name in the upper section to open its settings, where you can rename or delete it.

Discoveries always belong to a Component or sub-Component. You can create one either from the Product section, by clicking New inside the Component, or directly from a piece of feedback in your inbox.

Both routes are covered step by step in Turn feedback into product opportunities with Discoveries.
