What do you like best about Plandek?

A good connection between Plandek and Jira, helping on the detailed understanding of all tickets, data driven information and also the capacity to compare performances between teams and even "market trends". Also, the customizable Dashboards, fitting what we want and need "to see".

Great customer support and constant overall feedback from the Plandek Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

The information setup and customization of dahsboards can easily show "wrong" data (for example if we inadvertently put a wrong fliter). This mean a relatevely complex learning process on how to proper use the tool.

The tool is mostly focused on software delivery, leaving other areas of the IT Teams (product, design, etc) with not so relevant metrics to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

With data driven information, Plandek is helping the teams to focus on their performance, increasing predictability. It created a general awareness on the topic that need improvement and development and the ones that we should maintain as good practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps to see trends, check the SPrint health and highlighst where we are not following the agreed/expected process, which issues are the problem cases, what is causing distracktion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

Not as easy to set up dashboards like in Atlassian's JIRA, but with a little practice you can manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Plandek?

The support and guidance from their team has been exceptional, from the initial workshops on what we wanted to achieve (our northstar outcomes) to getting the right metrics in place to drive those changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

Nothing Plandek specific at this time in our Plandek rollout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're increasing our visibility of bottlenecks in our software development lifecycle, allowing us to tweak our processes and behaviours to remove waste in our end-to-end lifecycle.

We're able to see how long it takes to get a good idea into the hands of our customers.

We're supporting our move to agile scrum by giving our squads more information on their sprints, for example whether new scope if being added affecting their deliveries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plandek?

I use SmartViews daily, and the various dashboards are incredibly useful, especially for DORA metrics and Sprint retrospectives. There’s a vast range of metrics available, all customizable to suit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

The only drawback I see right now is the need to implement API calls for some DORA metrics; it would be more convenient if the data could be pulled directly from the CI/CD. Additionally, some metrics only use ticket counts, while we would prefer to use story points, as some tickets don’t have story points, which is expected in our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plandek helps solve the business problem of optimising software delivery by providing insights into development processes, tracking key metrics like DORA, and identifying bottlenecks. This allows my team to improve workflow efficiency, enhance predictability, and ultimately accelerate the release of high-quality software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plandek?

Taking an engineering organisation from a startup level to scaleup level requires a lot of decision making. We found in Plandek a great partner to deliver the metrics that supports those decisions. Bringing DORA metrics to support our journey towards engineering maturity was really easy to implement on Plandek and it helped us showing the value of our investment in Engineering Initiatives. The support provided by our CSM was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

I can pinpoint things that I really dislike but I see an opportunity in a better notification system that would make me aware of trend changes that perhaps need my attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plandek?

We have been using Plandek now for 3 years and I can say with confidence that the platform has enabled my engineering team to reduce waste and increase productivity. The platform is modern, intuitive and flexible. It only took a couple of hours to get set up before we could start to get value. Our Customer Success Manager is brilliant - always on hand to support us with setting up new metrics or to answer any questions that we might have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

With the platform being so flexible it can sometimes be as little difficult to figure out the best way to measure what I am looking to measure (although it is almost always possible). I would also love to see some features which help to pull my team members into the platform and drive greater use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plandek both helps me and my team to identify waste in our software development process, and to measure the impact of improvements that we introduce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plandek?

Once set up and configured, it's incredibly informative. I really like that their customer support are so responsive and get back to me quickly. I have a number of Scrum Masters, so I regularly (every other day) use Plandek to go in and check on their teams' progress. One of the most powerful features I'm finding at the moment is their Smart Insights feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

I think it could be a bit more intuitive, I've had to contact customer services with a number of queries. Perhaps providing some 'how to' videos is an avenue that could be looked into, as I'd find it very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm encouraging my team to use Plandek insights and metrics to find ways to improve delivery. We've been using it less than 3 months and already finding areas to improve, that we didn't in our previously used tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The in-depth insights help in understanding the pain points and taking actions where required.

Helps in improving the sprint progress and the team visits plandek first thing as the day starts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

The sync with JIRA can be improved. It takes time to get the insights reflected to Plandek. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

Until now we have been using JIRA for stand-ups and the sprints were not very effective. After we switched to planked we started getting insights where the team or the processes lack. We have seen a significant improvement in the overall sprint completion rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plandek?

I have been using Plandek for a while now and it is quite intuitive to use. There are a vast selection of metrics that can be configured to give you pretty much anything you can think of. The support staff have always been really helpful and quick in assisting when I have come across anything I could not figure out how to do for myself. The metrics have definetely helped me improve our sprints and highlight areas for improvement I had not even thought of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plandek?

Deleted ticket data from ADO is not updated as frequently as other data and can cause anomolies although only in the short term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plandek solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has allowed me to report on productivity and more importantly more accurately predict future productivity. It has also allowed me to improve our sprints by highlighting areas for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
