agile.flights

Gianmarco Carrieri, Jacklyn William, and their team looked at how software development got done in 2026 and realized something most people are too afraid to say: Agile became a religion that forgot its own scripture. JIRA boards became prisons. Standups became theater. Sprint planning became a guessing game nobody believes in anymore. So they built agile.flights—a complete reimagining of how teams ship software, replacing the rigid sprint model with something that actually matches how humans work: flights.

Here's the thing—sprints were invented for a world that doesn't exist anymore. Two-week iterations made sense when waterfall was the alternative and we shipped CD-ROMs. Now it's 2026 and we're still pretending 14-day boxes are the optimal unit of work? agile.flights throws that out entirely. Instead of artificial time boxes, teams organize around actual delivery milestones—flights that take as long as they need to take. Think of it as agile finally growing up and moving out of JIRA's basement.

This is either going to resonate incredibly hard or miss entirely, and honestly that's what makes it interesting. The agile industrial complex is a $3 billion market and everyone hates using the tools. Someone was going to disrupt this eventually. The question is whether teams are ready to abandon the comfort of sprints for something that actually works. Based in nowhere yet (the team appears globally distributed), and they're looking for teams brave enough to abandon the sprint.
