Improve developer productivity in the age of AI
Understand how work really flows across your SDLC, identify the bottlenecks limiting productivity, and remove the constraints preventing AI from delivering its full impact.
From DORA to fully custom metrics - all in one place
Choose the metrics and framework that fits your team
Plandek helps you choose the right North Star KPIs so your teams stay aligned and focused on improving delivery. These can come from frameworks like DORA, SPACE and Flow or from Plandek’s 4 Pillars of Productivity,
The most customizable DPI on the market
Plandek is the most customizable Developer Productivity Insights (DPI) platform. Create custom dashboards, define your own metrics and combine engineering data with your own finance, people, or customer data via our API to understand engineering productivity in your context.
Improve productivity with Plandek's 4 Pillars framework
Plandek supports a range of industry frameworks, the 4 Pillars is our structured approach to measuring and improving software delivery across four key dimensions.
Focus
Are We Working on the Right Things?
Plandek shows how your engineering effort is distributed across roadmap work, support, and technical debt - so you can understand whether teams are focused on value-creating work and redirect effort where it matters most. Key metrics include:
- Value Delivery %
- Support & Maintenance %
- Technical Debt %
Speed
Are We Delivering at the Right Time?
Track how quickly work moves from development to production across your SDLC. Identify delays in coding, review, and deployment - and remove bottlenecks to reduce time to value. Key metrics include:
- Lead Time to Value
- Cycle Time
- Time to Merge PRs
Predictability
How consistently are we delivering?
Understand how consistently your teams deliver against plans. Plandek highlights scope changes, rework, and delivery volatility - so you can improve planning, reduce surprises, and build confidence in your forecasts. Key metrics include:
- Delivery Predictability %
- Velocity Volatility %
Quality
Are we working in the right way?
Measure the impact of defects, rework, and incidents on delivery. Plandek connects quality signals to delivery performance - helping you improve standards without slowing down development. Key metrics include:
- Bug Resolution Time
- Stories Delivered : Bugs Raised Ratio
- Bugs Resolved to Bugs Raised
Combine qual and quant data to truly improve productivity
Understand the drivers behind productivity issues with surveys
Go beyond delivery metrics to capture feedback directly from your engineering teams. Plandek surveys uncover the real sources of friction - from unclear requirements to review bottlenecks and AI adoption challenges - helping you understand not just what’s happening, but why. Learn more.
Benchmark productivity against thousands of engineering teams
Understand how your engineering performance compares to industry peers across key productivity metrics like lead time, cycle time, PR review time and more. Plandek benchmarks show what good looks like, helping you set realistic targets, prioritise improvements, and track progress over time.
