New capability helps CTOs measure, benchmark and improve engineering productivity across Focus, Speed, Predictability and Quality using data from more than 2,000 engineering teams.

London, UK – [Launch Date] – Plandek, the Engineering Economics platform for the Agentic SDLC, today announced the launch of ProductivityRadar™, a new benchmark-driven capability that helps engineering leaders measure, benchmark and improve engineering productivity.

ProductivityRadar™ consolidates software delivery into a single, defensible engineering productivity score across four core dimensions: Focus, Speed, Predictability and Quality. It gives CTOs and engineering leaders a clear executive view of performance while enabling them to examine the underlying metrics, teams, and workflows contributing to the result.

The score is benchmarked against data from more than 2,000 engineering teams using quartile-based comparisons. This helps leaders understand where performance stands, how it compares externally, whether it is improving or declining, and where further investigation may be needed.

“Engineering leaders already have access to a considerable amount of data, but individual metrics often don’t provide a clear view of overall performance,” said Craig Smiley, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Plandek.

“ProductivityRadar™ brings those signals together in a benchmarked and explainable format. It gives CTOs a concise view for leadership discussions while retaining the detail needed to investigate performance and decide where to focus.”

ProductivityRadar™ enables engineering leaders to:

• Measure engineering productivity with a single benchmarked score.

• Drill down into teams and metrics to understand what’s behind the score.

• Compare performance with external benchmarks rather than relying on internal measures alone.

• Track changes in productivity over time.

• Identify performance gaps and opportunities to improve. Bring clear evidence into executive and board discussions.

• Measure the impact of AI adoption on engineering productivity.

“We wanted to create something that gives engineering leaders an honest answer to a deceptively simple question: ‘How productive are we, really?’” said Betsy Earnshaw, ProductivityRadar™ Product Manager at Plandek. 

“Leaders can begin with the organization-level view and then examine the pillars, trends, and delivery data behind it. This makes it easier to identify which areas warrant attention and where a more detailed conversation should begin.”

Used alongside Plandek’s AI adoption and impact capabilities. This enables engineering leaders to assess whether AI rollout is associated with changes in productivity.

As AI investment grows, ProductivityRadar™gives leaders a consistent framework for evaluating whether adoption is improving delivery outcomes and for discussing the return on engineering investment with executive teams and boards.

ProductivityRadar™ draws on the same dataset used in Plandek’s 2026 Engineering Productivity Benchmarks Report, which analyzes software delivery data from more than 2,000 engineering teams.
