App 01
Chunk Plan
Break complex initiatives into a visible hierarchy of milestones, sequence dependencies, and keep the path to delivery clear.
Separate but Equal · Azure DevOps
Plan value independently and ahead of delivery, then couple every chunk to its implementation work—regardless of project, team, process, or backlog structure.
App 02
Chunk Size
Run real-time estimation sessions with configurable scales, clear participant roles, timed discussion, objections, and consensus.
Effort informs staffing
Estimate required effort early so management can align capacity, skills, and people to the right teams before a gap threatens delivery.
App 03
Chunk Map
See Azure Boards work-item relationships as an interactive card map with clear link direction and relationship labels.
See the whole system
Map planning intent to existing Azure DevOps work items without forcing a new project, process, hierarchy, or backlog structure.
App 04
Chunk Plot
Turn live Azure Boards work into live, decision-ready dashboards without moving delivery data into another reporting system.
Live delivery intelligence
Choose the work that matters, shape the signal for each audience, and keep changing conditions visible in Azure DevOps or on a rotating kiosk display.
App 05
Chunk Obeya
Move together from understanding the current situation to exposing gaps, recording decisions, and following through on owned actions.
Close the delivery gap
Make bugs, gaps, decisions, owners, priorities, and due dates visible without forcing the team into a new Azure DevOps hierarchy.
App 06
Chunk Notes
Use Azure Boards parent-child relationships and completed work to assemble clear release notes without maintaining a separate reporting backlog.
Release notes are part of delivery
Keep release communication connected to the work itself. Generate, review, and publish notes as one small final chunk—not someone’s full-time reporting job.
Supporting tools for Azure DevOps
Additional Tools
Our original six products connect the end-to-end process, from planning and estimation to delivery and release communication. These additional tools support everyday work alongside that process.

Chunk Dashboards
Bring pipeline information onto your Azure DevOps dashboards with configurable cards. Keep build status and recent pipeline activity visible where your team already checks progress.
Supports day-to-day visibility into build and delivery activity.
Explore Chunk DashboardsHow we think
Software should make the next decision easier.
We build around the way teams actually work: shared context, visible tradeoffs, and less time spent managing the tool itself.
Clarity first
Important information stays visible, understandable, and close to the decision it supports.
Fit the workflow
Tools belong inside the systems teams already use—not in another disconnected destination.
Earn every click
Interactions stay purposeful so teams can spend their energy on planning and delivery.
