Jile helps multiple teams of teams plan and deliver large products. Distributed agile teams can manage synchronized, incremental delivery of large systems involving complex sub-products, across different technology stacks, each with its own product vision, roadmap, and release cycle. This way, Jile helps organizations that develop and manage large IT systems embrace Agile and DevOps at scale for their innovation, and gain business agility.
