🌹Roses are red
Chocolates are fine
But have you ever tried
A couple's review with wine?

This Valentine's Day, skip the overpriced prix fixe. Do a sit-down relationship retro on Review with your partner instead.

It's free ✅
It's intentional ✅
It's even got the perfect Rose Blossom template ✅✅

Thank us later.

P.S. The retro items below may or may not have come from our team's lived experiences.

🪣🪣🪣 Nothing to see here, just moving our Jira stories to the next sprint...

If this made you laugh (or wince), you're not alone. 80% of teams roll work from sprint to sprint. Over a third are moving 26-50% of their planned work forward.

Eighty.👏 Percent.👏

So if your team is confident in their estimates but still misses half of them, you're not broken. You're in the majority.

💡And there's a way to join the other 20%.

We surveyed 419 engineers, PMs, and project managers to understand the gap between how teams plan and how they actually deliver. ✨The State of Team Alignment 2026 ✨ covers estimation, dependencies, retro follow-through, and why spreadsheets are quietly sabotaging all three.

🎯 Plus: what to actually *do* about it that doesn't involve adopting a new framework or having another meeting about meetings.

In case the literal graffiti by our team didn't give it away, we're focused on ✨IMPACT ✨ this year. Every bit of work we do, we're asking - "what will people be doing differently when we get this right?" (Thanks to Jeff Gothelf for this gem.)

We've been putting the work in behind the scenes, and we've got a good feeling about 2026.

2025 threw a lot at everyone - now it's about making that chaos count. Let's do this. 💪

New Year’s resolutions, but make them… grounded.

➡️ Sleep at least seven hours.
➡️ Stop apologising for dogs snoring in meetings.
➡️ Gently encourage our friends to stop using “click here” links.
➡️ Continue learning, even when it would be easier not to.

We asked our team what they'd Stop, Start, and Continue in 2026, and it was a good reminder of why simple reflection works so well. You do not need a big plan to learn something useful. Just a good question and a bit of honesty.

Thanks for sharing your thoughtful and honest replies, team - Rosalind Ingham, Matthew Keir, Alfie Rogers, Aundray Cheam, Tenille Hoppo, Mat Lawrence, and Kaitlyn Pickard. Rooting for you (Especially you, Aundray) ✨

What is on your list for 2026?

You should always feel sure that the tools you use to do your job are keeping your data secure. That’s why we have such a focus on data security and privacy at Easy Agile. And it’s why we continue to seek improved security compliance.

We’ve recently achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, which we’re super proud of. But we won’t stop there. We have ISO 27001 in our sites and plan to achieve that in the next 12 to 18 months. Tap through to the blog post below to see what this means for you.

Easy Agile has now achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification

Some companies go on retreat. At Easy Agile, we prefer to Advance. This week we bought the whole team together for Easy Agile Advance to collaborate on product strategy, learn about our Marketplace, and spend some time together as a team.

A very special thanks to Atlassians Keran McKenzie and Anna Barry for so generously sharing your time and expertise with us.

Calling All Tetris Fans 🟥 🟦 🟩 💥
Isn’t it satisfying when all the blocks line up? The faster things move, the harder it gets, but when blocks of different size and shape come together and those rows disappear… that micro-moment of achievement…. 🙌 Well, it can’t just be us, right?

Helping you keep your program of work in order is what keeps us up at night, which is why we’re excited to share that Easy Agile Programs now supports custom sprint lengths. Need a shorter sprint at the end of this quarter to account for a company-wide event? We’ve just made it easy to help all the pieces fit together.

This jam-packed release also includes confidence voting on the Program and Team boards, and delivers more visibility for risks and dependencies, including the ability to flag an issue that may cause an impediment to all those moving parts lining up neatly and delivering on time.

Read all about it: https://hubs.la/Q02g_f1n0

Easy Agile Programs for Jira is available now via Atlassian Marketplace.

When plans need to be flexible, the new custom sprint lengths feature helps them stay accurate. Confidence voting ensures teams are aligned around the feasibility of the plan - whether it's at the team or program level. Get even more insight into risks and external dependencies that may impact
