Align engineering with product
Move faster and deliver more value by taking a strategic approach to agile work
Get clear on strategy
Rally the engineering team behind the roadmap. Ensure everyone understands the "why" behind the work — so you can implement solutions that deliver real customer and business value. Connect Aha! Develop with Aha! Roadmaps to show how every feature contributes to product goals, providing a new level of clarity around priority and impact.
Streamline agile planning
Choose your agile methodology: scrum, kanban, Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), The Aha! Framework for product development, or a hybrid approach. Work closely with product management to create a unified backlog that balances roadmap-driven work alongside technical priorities. Early collaboration on estimates, scope, and timing fosters a strong partnership and keeps work moving smoothly.
Manage work efficiently
Happy teams are more productive. Aha! Develop provides a streamlined UI so engineers can stay focused on shipping high-quality code. Make use of repeatable workflows and automation to save time. Integrations with dev tools — such as GitHub, Azure Pipelines, and CircleCI — make it easy to track the status of pull requests and builds in one place.
Communicate progress
Increase transparency into development progress. Sync statuses between Aha! Develop and Aha! Roadmaps to keep product management automatically informed of updates. Surface delivery risks — like stalled work and unresolved dependencies — so you can proactively address issues and ship on schedule.
Highlight velocity
Celebrate the team's achievements. Show the value of what the team shipped for customers, grouped by initiatives and releases. Use a variety of agile reports to analyze team performance. From sprint burndowns to velocity, cumulative flow, throughput, and cycle time charts, see how long it takes to complete work and identify ways to improve productivity.
