SPRINT PLANNING FOR SMALL GAME TEAMS
Ship your game without drowning in planning.
A meeting, a design doc, a whiteboard photo, or a one-line goal. Aligned writes the tickets, estimates them, and puts them in Jira. No one on your team types tickets again. Built for teams without a full-time producer.
Built by Jonathan Hawkins. 20+ year game dev veteran, Lead Level Designer at Sony Santa Monica and Studio Founder.

Why this exists
JH
Jonathan Hawkins
Former Lead Level Designer, God of War · Sony Santa Monica
“I spent 20 years watching great creative teams lose hours to tool overhead. The talent was never the bottleneck. The tools were. So I built what I always wished existed.”
After shipping God of War 1–3 at Santa Monica Studio and founding a VR studio, Jonathan built Aligned Tools from the pain of managing creative teams where 90% of Slack was noise and the real work got buried. Aligned is the tool he needed and couldn’t find.
Aligned is the planning tool those teams always needed.
