"The questions we always ask are, do we have the data to make our decisions? The biggest problem was there were too many mistakes. People gravitated towards Plandek straight away, using it as part of retrospectives in addition to reporting. By drilling into the data, they could identify areas of improvement or issues that should be raised."

The Challenge

Slow, Manual Reporting & Limited Visibility

PEI Group, a leader in private markets insights, data, and analytics, relies on data-driven decision-making to maintain its competitive edge. However, their engineering reporting process was slow, manual, and error-prone:

Time-consuming reporting – Teams manually extracted Jira data into Excel, creating reports that were often outdated and inaccurate.

Limited metrics – Cycle time, lead time, and build activity lacked proper measurement.

Lack of full SDLC visibility – Engineering teams only had Jira-based insights, missing PR, build, and deployment data.

To scale efficiently and enhance visibility, PEI Group needed a centralized, automated solution

The Solution

Engineering Intelligence with Plandek

PEI Group’s Chief Product Officer, Darren Thorpe, had previously used Plandek and knew its value. When he joined PEI Group, he made it a priority to implement Plandek, confident it would provide the complete picture of engineering performance.

With guidance from Plandek’s team, PEI Group quickly rolled out the platform, integrating key engineering metrics into their workflows:

Cycle Time & Lead Time for Changes – Accurately tracking how long work takes from start to finish.

Time to Release & Deployment Frequency – Monitoring release speed and efficiency.

Build Activity & Failure Rates – Identifying and resolving inefficiencies in the CI/CD pipeline.

"If you want to know if engineering is running efficiently, Plandek gives you the complete picture. If I could take one product with me to a new company, it would be Plandek - and I did that when I joined PEI Group."

The Outcome

Automated Insights, Smarter Decisions & Full Team Adoption

By integrating Plandek, PEI Group eliminated manual reporting inefficiencies and unlocked full visibility into their software delivery process:

Automated reporting & data accuracy – Eliminated Excel-based reports, saving hours of manual work.

Data-driven decision-making – Engineering metrics are now included in board-level data packs.

Full SDLC visibility – Engineers can track builds, deployments, and bottlenecks in real time.

Plandek quickly became the new standard for PEI Group. Initially used by web developers, it has since expanded to data engineers, BI teams, and support teams. New employees are onboarded with Plandek from day one, ensuring company-wide adoption.
