Plandek provides powerful insight you won't find in Azure DevOps

Plandek’s ability to track increments of work across your DevOps toolset enables it to provide crucial insight not available in ADO custom reports. Examples include:

DORA metrics and Flow metrics – Plandek surfaces these metrics at all levels in your organisation and provides powerful drill-down and related determinant metrics to drive improvement.

Lead Time to Value – track and optimise the key Agile metric – the time taken from design through to delivery to live.

Ticket Hotspots – See where work is happening in your repositories to identify areas of code more susceptible to bugs than others.

Code Knowledge – Learn how team members interact with other in the pull request process.

Plandek provides insight at all levels in your organisation

Plandek works across complex organisations allowing you to model the data from all these tools in the way that fits your structure, whereas Azure DevOps silos how you can report.

Align and manage success and challenges across your organisation with a shared view of the SDLC. We understand that every team within an organisation can be different, which is why Plandek offers flexibility at a team level while still maintaining transparency throughout the organisation.

Connect the dots across your toolchain with Plandek

Unlike Azure DevOps, Plandek provides visibility from design to delivery to live by integrating across your toolchain.

This allows team leads to get more insight around the Pull Requests, deployments and builds related to the work that their team is focussing on.

This allows tech leadership to track and drive improvement across the SDLC to accelerate value delivery.

insights and spot trends

Overlay engineering metrics with HR, customer and financial data for a new level of insight

Plandek custom time series API enables you to surface multiple data sources and combine them with your SDLC data.

This includes financial, HR and customer data, for example, so you can create DevFinOps metrics and much more.. ​

Increase velocity and predictability with SmartView's AI-powered delivery insights

Plandek SmartView analyses the complete ticket history of a team to identify anomalies that require action. Examples include stuck tickets, PR delays, QA issues and many more.

SmartView’s prescriptive analytics capability provides sprint and epic delivery risk coefficients and identifies mitigation actions for improved forecasting and on-time delivery. ​
