No complex onboarding. No training required. Your team starts with the same context they'd build over months in a custom internal tool.
Import from Jira, plug Claude Code or Codex into the MCP server, or start fresh. One-click OAuth, zero config.
Tell the AI about your tech stack, team size, and goals. It builds context automatically.
Stories, architecture options, test cases, process maps — all generated from your context.
Quality gates, risk scores, and delivery health ensure every release meets the bar.

Stories, architecture options, test cases, process maps — all generated from your context.
Quality gates, risk scores, and delivery health ensure every release meets the bar.
Your team juggles Jira for planning, Confluence for docs, Miro for architecture, TestRail for QA, and a dozen spreadsheets for process tracking. Context is lost between tools. AI is bolted on as chatbots that don't understand your codebase. Nothing is connected.
Plan drafts epics + stories from your project history and prior sprints
Design proposes solutions with trade-off analysis
Optimize discovers bottlenecks and automation opportunities
Verify proposes tests grounded in your past defects, predicts regressions, enforces quality gates

Start Saving NowNot chatbots. Structured AI that generates architecture solutions, writes acceptance criteria, discovers process bottlenecks, and predicts defects.
Plan, backlog, and ship. Stride drafts stories and acceptance criteria with the context of your past sprints — your real velocity, what shipped, what slipped. Release notes pull from resolved tickets and merged commits, not a blank prompt. Comments, mentions and live presence make the board feel inhabited, not abandoned.

AI recommendation
Merge-window conflict on Team A — Oct 24. Re-sequence deploy 42 first.
“I stopped chasing status and started acting on it.”
Stories link to tests. Tests link to architecture. Architecture links to processes. Defects link back to stories. The AI sees all of it at once — so prompts understand your real product, not a snippet ripped out of context.
When a story moves, its tests light up. When architecture drifts, the stories that depend on it surface. No more "whose job is this?" meetings.
Every AI call — story draft, test gen, release notes, process analysis, ADR — is grounded in your workspace data. Context is the model, not the prompt.
Public share links for every artifact — stories, diagrams, releases, test runs. Signed URLs, no sign-up required. Show work to clients in one click.
PM, architecture, process and quality in one product — plus the AI endpoints and enterprise plumbing a serious team needs.

One platform vs. five tabs and an admin team. We tell you when Jira or Linear is the better fit — but here's why most teams pick Stride.
Add up the tools you'd buy to match Stride's feature set. Stride is the same value at a flat $29/seat.
AI-native delivery OS
5 vendors, 5 contracts, 5 separate AI add-ons
5 best-of-breed tools instead of one platform
Numbers assume one seat per tool with the cheapest plan that matches Stride's feature set. Prices verified against vendor pricing pages on 2026-04-29 — your real procurement quote will be higher than this.
