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.

HOW IT WORKS

It learns your pace.
Aligned tracks what your team actually ships, sprint after sprint, so estimates come from real history instead of wishful thinking.

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.
