The Bridge from Estimation to Predictable Delivery

Start with team alignment through collaborative estimation. Bridge to predictable delivery with transparent prioritisation. Build organizational capability through continuous learning.

Stage 1: Team Alignment

Build shared understanding through collaborative estimation. Historical context surfaces automatically. Your team stops estimating in theater and starts building alignment.

Stage 2: The Bridge - Prioritisation

Transparent prioritisation connects estimation to delivery. Distribute decision-making across stakeholders. Surface trade-offs visually. Move from aligned estimates to predictable commits.

Stage 3: Organizational Capability

Portfolio visibility coordinates multiple teams. Organizational learning improves accuracy over time. Build strategic delivery capability that compounds with every decision.

Foundation: Jira-Native

At every stage, Jira remains your source of truth. Two-way sync keeps your backlog current. Import, decide, push back - all within your existing workflow.

Continuous Maturity Journey

Start at any stage that matches your maturity. Progress from team alignment to predictable delivery to organizational capability - without switching platforms.

STAGE 1: TEAM ALIGNMENT

Build Shared Understanding Through Estimation

Before you can deliver predictably, your team needs to understand work the same way. Collaborative estimation builds alignment and captures context - the foundation for everything that follows.

Jira Stays Your Source of Truth

Import backlog items with one click. Estimate collaboratively. Push results back to Jira automatically. Your team never leaves their workflow.

Async or Live Collaboration

Vote on your schedule or collaborate in real-time. Flexible workflows that respect your team's time and improve alignment.

Context-Driven Estimation

See similar work your team completed before. Reference past estimates and actuals. Make better decisions with the context you've already built.

Learn from Every Sprint

Compare estimates to actuals. Identify patterns in accuracy. Improve predictability over time with data synced directly from Jira.

STAGES 2 & 3: DELIVERY & CAPABILITY

Bridge to Predictable Delivery

Once your team aligns through estimation, the next question is: what ships first? Transparent prioritisation bridges from alignment to predictable delivery. Portfolio visibility builds organizational capability.

(Available in Standard and Large plans)

Stage 2: Prioritisation - The Bridge

Estimation alone doesn't ship software. Even with perfect estimates, teams struggle when prioritisation is opaque or political.

Ibis Flow makes prioritisation transparent through distributed stakeholder voting. Surface trade-offs visually. Build alignment on what ships first - and why.

The bridge from estimation to delivery is prioritisation. Connect team alignment to capacity-aware planning. Move from "we understand the work" to "we can commit to delivering it."

Stage 3: Organizational Capability

Capacity-Aware Planning: Use real capacity data and velocity trends to plan sprints you can actually deliver. Stop overcommitting. Build a track record of hitting your targets.

Portfolio Visibility: Coordinate across multiple teams. See capacity, dependencies, and delivery confidence at the organizational level. Identify bottlenecks before they cause delays.

Continuous Learning: Compare estimates to actuals across all teams. Identify patterns in accuracy. Build delivery capability that compounds with every decision.
