Save a lot of Money While Getting Something Better

You can’t have line-of-sight unless you can afford to give the tools to everyone

They say that you get what you pay for. Well, not always. Sometimes you are paying a monopoly price.

Atlassian has a monopoly-like hold on many organizations. Its flagship tool, Jira, is inexpensive, but to make the tool usable in an enterprise context, one has to add the other tools, which are very expensive.

The good news is that there is now a better alternative. You can just say no to Atlassian’s high-priced add-ons and choose a single planning & execution platform that supports a true end-to-end view – one that doesn’t kill your budget with the add-ons. It’s called Streamline.TM

Streamline is new and was built from scratch to support a true end-to-end view, giving everyone line-of-sight from objectives through execution goals. That end-to-end line-of-sight is really, really crucial for being able to pivot at speed: it enables people to self-align. They can see what the core strategies are, and what others are doing, and adjust accordingly. They don’t need to have meetings to find out and sync up – they can just look.

Alignment is only possible if everyone can check alignment; expensive per-seat add-ons make it infeasible to give the features to everyone.

That also enables your people to figure out how to meet your goals in the most effective way: you don’t have to create big plans – they can self-plan and align around shared goals, at all levels.

Tools like Jira Align promise to support alignment, but the glitch in that is that they charge per-seat, and if you give the alignment features to everyone, you will pay a fortune; so companies only buy a limited number of licenses for the alignment features. That makes those features almost worthless: alignment is only possible if everyone can check alignment. Alignment needs to be built into the core planning and execution platform.

In Streamline, it is. Streamline has no add-ons. Every user has access to all features; that means that the price is the price, and it’s a lot cheaper than Jira with the “strategy collection” add-ons.

You don’t have to shift all your planning all at once. Try it with one project – we will help to get things set up. If you like it, we can then help you to plan for how to roll it out more broadly.
