All the scaled agile planning. None of the twelve-month implementation.
Self-updating roadmaps
Atlassian's enterprise agile platform
The key differences that matter for your planning workflow.
Where the differences really show up in your daily workflow.
Typical implementations run six to twelve months with dedicated consultants. You will map organizational structure, configure work hierarchies, train administrators, and usually adjust processes to fit the tool. Teams see first value one to two years in.
Install the Jira plugin. Select projects. Define team capacity. The calculation engine produces your roadmap immediately. Most teams are fully operational inside a week. No consultants required.
Program boards update during PI Planning ceremonies. Between events, alignment is maintained by hand. When priorities shift mid-PI, program managers coordinate manually across teams.
Every change triggers instant recalculation. Reprioritize a feature, the roadmap resequences. A dependency slips, downstream work adjusts. Capacity changes, work redistributes across sprints.
Enterprise licensing typically starts around $100K per year and scales with users. Implementation consultants add $200K-plus. Dedicated administrators consume one to two FTEs. First-year total often exceeds $400K for a mid-size organization.
From €3/user/month on the Jira Plugin tier, or €29/user/month on the Strategy Application tier if you also want the executive portfolio view (minimum 5 users). No implementation consultants. No dedicated administrators.
If your organization runs textbook SAFe, Align has absorbed ten years of the framework. ARTs, value streams, Big Room Planning, Solution Trains: every concept is a first-class object. Agile coaches and RTEs find their vocabulary natively supported.
Framework-flexible by design. We support PI Planning, Program Increments, and confidence votes for SAFe teams, but we do not bake in the rest of the SAFe taxonomy. A team running something other than SAFe finds us natural. A team running canonical SAFe will find Align speaks its language more fluently.
Real scenarios to help you decide.
