Aha! Teamwork just launched — a better way to manage projects

by Brian de Haaff

Most product and project teams want the same thing: to be useful and create something of value. That usually exists at the start, when goals are defined and priorities are set. But things drift once the work begins. Strategic roadmaps get built in one place. Engineering is managed in another. And the work to launch, deliver, or implement what was built happens somewhere else — it is tracked in project tools, buried in slides, shared in chats. The connection to the plan weakens with every handoff. Teams need a better way to coordinate the work that brings their strategic plans to life.

We are thrilled to introduce Aha! Teamwork — a new way to manage project work in concert with the roadmap that shaped it.

More than 1 million users already rely on Aha! software to build strategic plans. Aha! Roadmaps is where you define goals and initiatives, align on priorities, and coordinate timelines across teams. It is also where you capture customer needs and define user requirements. The work to deliver or implement these plans is significant. Different teams across operations, IT, or marketing typically own launch and rollout efforts. And today, each team also has its own project tools, methods, and delivery responsibilities. But all of this work needs to stay in sync and tied to the original plan.

Now, everyone involved in creating new products and experiences can work together in Aha! software. This shared foundation supports how each team operates best.

With Aha! Teamwork, you can choose from multiple agile workflows, prioritize tasks, manage dependencies, and track key milestones. The setup is flexible enough to reflect how your team works, yet structured enough to support broader organizational needs. And all work rolls up to the original plan because Aha! Teamwork integrates tightly with Aha! Roadmaps. From early discovery to final delivery, every step is connected.

Two plans are available. Aha! Teamwork Essentials is for teams that want a standalone project management tool. Aha! Teamwork Advanced is for teams that need deep integration with Aha! Roadmaps and advanced reporting capabilities. Either way, your team can work the way it wants — with full visibility into priorities, progress, and timing.

Here is how you can manage delivery with Aha! Teamwork:

Tie work to strategy

Projects move faster when everyone understands the "why." Define goals and initiatives in Aha! Roadmaps. Once you set your plan, it is simple to assign work to the right teams in Aha! Teamwork. Both tools share the same records, which preserves context. You can see exactly how team activities support high-level direction as work progresses.

Break down large projects into epics, activities, and requirements to create more manageable pieces of work.

Set clear priorities

Every team balances strategic initiatives with ongoing work. Aha! Teamwork brings both into view: strategic activities from Aha! Roadmaps alongside everything else the team is responsible for. Build a single list of priorities, sequence work based on value, and define time frames to keep everyone moving forward.

The Strategic work column shows all activities and requirements assigned to the team from Aha! Roadmaps.

Understand capacity

Commit to the right amount of work based on your team’s actual capacity. Estimate the effort to complete each activity, then plan in time-boxed increments — allocating tasks based on each team member's availability.

As work gets underway, log the time spent. This shows how effort compares to your original estimates and gives you a clearer view of team velocity. Use these insights to adjust future plans and bring more predictability to how work gets done.

Each team member's capacity is calculated based on their availability and past work velocity — so you can plan with accuracy.

View individual tasks

Track progress in real time. Use an interactive kanban board to see every activity's status. Create swimlanes to organize work by type, priority, or owner — whatever makes the most sense for your team. Assign to-dos and add comments to streamline collaboration and ensure nothing gets overlooked.

Customize activity cards to surface the most important information for the team, like delivery risks and dependencies.

Track work on a timeline

Once priorities are set, timing matters. Use the timeline view in Aha! Teamwork to lay out all activities by start and end date. Adjust dependencies, shift durations, and see how each piece fits into the broader plan. This gives everyone a clear picture of what is happening and when — so nothing gets missed and deadlines stay realistic.

View all scheduled work in one place. Filter by project or zoom out to see the full team's workload.

Report on project success

Review delivery trends and identify areas for improvement. Built-in reports help you monitor team velocity, spot delivery risks early, and evaluate how delivered work ties back to your strategy. These insights help you make better planning decisions and show the full value of what the team delivers.
