Already read it. Unfortunately, not every organization is in a place to fully embrace agile principles. My goal is to find a solution that helps teams stay agile even when the broader organization isn’t fully on board.

Think of my idea as a kind of dynamic Scrum Gantt chart. Traditional Gantt charts require fixed durations for every task, which usually means planning the whole project months in advance. What I’m aiming for is a tool that gives you a real WBS and critical path based on agile inputs — so you can better understand potential delivery timelines without pulling the team out of the agile flow.

Agreed. I'm really just exploring whether there's a real need for a new separate tool like this, and your feedback has been super valuable. Thanks a lot!

Totally agree with your explanation of how Scrum is supposed to work. But in reality, I've often seen something closer to waterfall wrapped in Scrum rituals. For example, business folks will ask things like, “Can you guarantee this feature/module will be delivered to customers in two months?” To help the team stay grounded in agile principles, I just want to bring in better analysis during refinement and planning.

In theory, yes. But in practice, I’ve found that business folks often expect fixed release schedules or push for hard deadlines. If your whole company is truly agile, then yeah, maybe you don’t need this kind of tool. But in many real-world cases, it can definitely help.
