Plandek receives further recognition from Quadrant Solutions, the leading technology analysts in Asia and the US, ranked as a ‘Leader’ among the eighteen global Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) platform vendors surveyed.
The SPARK Matrix: Software Engineering Intelligence Platform, Q3, 2024 reviews each vendor in depth against a range of criteria that relate to both ‘Customer Impact’ and ‘Technology Excellence’.
Plandek is among only eight SEI platforms classified as both ‘high Customer Impact’ and with a top score in ‘Technology Excellence’. This latest recognition follows recognition from both Gartner and Forrester in their analyses of the SEI and Value Stream Management spaces.
What are SEI platforms?
Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) is one of the fastest growing areas within DevOps, with Gartner forecasting ten-fold growth within the next three years.
SEI platforms integrate with underlying DevOps tools (such as workflow management tools, code repositories, CI/CD tools and monitoring tools), to surface metrics and analytics to help teams optimize the end-to-end software delivery process.
This enables tech leadership, management and teams to continuously improve the delivery process, in order to: increase velocity, deliver more predictably, improve resource focus on key priorities and ensure security and quality excellence.
SEI platforms enable users to create dashboards and surface engineering, delivery, agile and DevOps metrics including popular metrics sets such as the DORA metrics, SPACE and Flow Metrics.
More advanced SEI platforms also provide predictive and prescriptive data analytics, for example to help predict when a feature may be delivered and to suggest mitigations required to improve delivery performance.
Why does Plandek standout from other SEI platforms?
Plandek is used by innovative teams globally at organisations such as United Healthcare, Skyscanner, ScriptRunner, Trainline, the UK Ministry of Justice, Sage, Kindercare, Legal & General and many more.
Plandek is unique in that it provides every level of the organization with valuable and actionable insights, to improve performance across the SDLC, and beyond.
Technology leadership – Plandek helps CTOs and tech leaders to:
- Align the entire delivery organisation around some simple KPIs (be they DORA metrics, SPACE metrics or a custom combination)
- Better focus finite resource on value creating activities (e.g. building new features versus time ‘lost’ to bug fixing)
- Communicate better and build trust with stakeholders who increasingly demand evidence of productivity and ROI, as well as delivery progress
Managers – Plandek provides managers and engineering leads across Product, Delivery, Engineering and DevOps with the insights they need to better understand and remediate the underlying causes of process inefficiency in their area of responsibility.
Teams – Plandek helps hard-working engineering teams with their ‘day-job’ of feature delivery, by empowering them with a whole new level of (AI driven) intelligent insight to identify blockers and more easily forecast and meet their sprint, epic, feature and release goals.
