Zones exists to solve some very simple problems, which are unreasonably hard... Most planning processes work something like this:

1. Someone manages strategy and tries to communicate it
2. You groom, break down, and estimate, work as a team
3. You write up all the tickets
4. You work on the tickets

The first 3 are made hard by the tools we have, you either plan in your backlog and fight the UI, or you plan on a whiteboard and write tickets later.

With Zones you use whiteboards, but all tickets are synchronised for you. Storyboards can track long term plans, while being linked to work items for progress tracking. This reduces the mental burden of planning for leaders, and helps your team see the bigger picture, while removing admin burden from everybody.

Plan Products, not Tickets
