Experimental Features

Try potential ScopeCone features before they're built. Your feedback determines what makes it into the product.

Monte Carlo Calculator

🔬 Experimental feature! Try Monte Carlo forecasting and tell us if this should be built into ScopeCone. Transform cycle times into probabilistic delivery forecasts.
