Improve productivity with Plandek's 4 Pillars framework

Improve productivity with Plandek's 4 Pillars framework

The 4 Pillars is our structured approach to measuring and improving software delivery across four key dimensions, while supporting a range of industry frameworks.

Work balance dashboard with stacked bar charts and breakdown of tasks: roadmap, customer requests, bugs, and technical debt.

Focus

Are we working on the right things?

Plandek shows how your engineering effort is distributed across roadmap work, support, and technical debt – so you can understand whether teams are focused on value-creating work and redirect effort where it matters most. Key metrics include:

  • Value Delivery %

  • Support & Maintenance %

  • Technical Debt %

  • As we accelerated with AI, we’d see productivity improve, then plateau. Plandek helped us identify the next high-value constraint so we could unlock the next stage of improvement.

  • We’ve been really able to demystify what was once previously a really complex engineering process… and really build a better conversation around what it means to build good product software.

  • Predictability, while good, isn’t what we’re trying to optimise now. It is about speed to market. It will become table stakes: if you’re a technology business, you should be able to deliver software in no time at all. If you can’t, there’s a business problem looming.
