Flights is a lightweight project management methodology that replaces Agile/Scrum terminology with an aviation metaphor. Instead of sprints, story points, and backlog grooming, teams use flights (initiatives), captains (owners), crates (tasks), and ground work (maintenance). The goal is to create a universal language that everyone from engineers to executives understands without translation, while minimizing ceremony and maximizing accountability. It sits above existing tools like Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues rather than replacing them.
