What is Workload's Scaled Agile module?
Workload adds an opt-in scaled agile layer (programs, PI lite, dependencies, read-only Jira sync) on top of existing capacity planning. It is not Jira Align: PI aligns capacity and delivery, not a full enterprise backlog.
Scaled Agile IT
without PPM weight
Programs, PI lite, and dependencies — wired to your existing capacity planning. Opt-in, deployable in hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Workload replace Jira Align?+
No. Workload complements your stack: capacity + PI lite + dependencies. Jira Align remains relevant for multi-BU enterprise portfolio.
Do we need SAFe to use the module?+
No. The module is opt-in with configurable terminology (standard, SAFe, Spotify). You can use programs and PI only.
Does it affect orgs without the flag?+
No. With scaledAgileEnabled off, scaled agile UI and APIs stay hidden — PMO journey unchanged.
Does Workload cover the Spotify model (tribes, squads)?+
Partially: Spotify terminology profile, programs as tribes, squad/chapter hierarchy, and capacity planning. Guilds, coaching matrix, and squad backlog stay in Jira/Linear. See the Spotify transformation page.
What's the difference between SAFe and Spotify in Workload?+
Both are opt-in terminology profiles on the same capacity + programs layer. SAFe uses ART/PI labels; Spotify uses tribe/cycle/squad/chapter — without mandating a full agile org tool.
