Our background

Plandek was co-founded in the UK in 2018 by entrepreneurs Dan Lee, founder of Globrix, and Charlie Ponsonby, founder of Simplifydigital.

Plandek started with a simple idea: engineering organizations generate huge amounts of data across their delivery tools, but struggle to turn it into meaningful insight about how effectively software is being delivered.

That idea became Plandek's Developer Productivity Insights platform.

Today, as AI transforms software development, that challenge is becoming even more important. Plandek helps organizations understand how productive their engineering function really is, identify the constraints preventing improvement, and determine whether investments in AI are translating into faster, better delivery.

Plandek is headquartered in London and works with enterprise engineering organizations around the world and across the UK public sector. Our platform, frameworks, benchmarks from more than 2,500 engineering teams, and industry expertise help organizations turn engineering data into measurable improvements in productivity and business outcomes.

Plandek is recognized globally in the Developer Productivity Insights and Software Engineering Intelligence markets by Gartner and Forrester
