Plan

Break down problems into clear, vertical slices focused on real user value. Map out journeys and interactions without ever falling into backlog bloat or endless estimates. Story mapping guides the high-level view; everything else stays lightweight and purposeful.

Shape

Design happens in the context of the work. See what’s being built, where it lives, and how it fits. Colony connects plan to structure with real-time, editable architecture—not static diagrams. No more big up-front designs—just-in-time shaping that adapts with you.

Team

Everything lives on the visual map, ready for your team to explore, click, edit, or call. Comments, notes, even live video—Colony is built for togetherness. It encourages collaboration and dissuades lone-wolf development. If we could enforce pair programming, we would.

Code

Code stays close to its purpose. Colony links plan, design, and implementation in one shared flow. Work moves forward through trunk-based development—fast, clean, and always ready to ship. Forecasts come from real data, not guesses. And soon, deployment pipelines will complete the journey.

Fly

Colony is the process—so you don’t have to be. We handle the structure, rituals, and routines so you can focus on solving problems and building great software. With just enough constraint to keep you aligned, and just enough freedom to let you create.
