Join us for the next session in Plandek’s Metrics Masterclass series, where we focus on Predictability – one of the Four Pillars of Engineering Productivity, alongside Speed, Quality, and Focus.

This session goes beyond Agile delivery metrics and into real-world impact – helping you improve not just delivery performance, but also team confidence, motivation, and stakeholder trust.

Whether you’re exploring sprint planning metrics for the first time or refining your current Agile forecasting approach, this Masterclass is packed with practical takeaways.

What You’ll Learn

In this live session, we’ll go beyond tracking metrics and focus on how to drive real, measurable business outcomes – not only in delivery performance, but also in team motivation, confidence, and stakeholder trust.

You’ll discover how to:

Understand and act on key predictability metrics like Sprint Capacity Accuracy, Sprint Target Completion, and Scope Change – essential indicators of sprint planning accuracy and team dependability
Configure and use these Agile metrics in Plandek to reflect the unique rhythms and delivery workflows of your teams
Drive continuous improvement and insights that strengthen planning reliability and execution consistency across your software delivery lifecycle
Demonstrate the business value of predictability—showing how improved delivery forecasting helps teams consistently meet goals and empowers stakeholders to plan with confidence
Support both Scrum and Kanban teams with proven techniques that enhance predictability across different Agile methodologies

Bonus highlight: See how to leverage SmartView for Sprints to gain real-time insight into sprint progress, spot risks early, and make in-sprint adjustments that directly improve predictability. With automated delivery analytics and live visualizations, SmartView helps teams stay focused and hit their sprint goals.

Plus: We’ll cover the human side of Agile predictability – how delivering to plan reduces stress, builds team momentum, and boosts long-term engineering team health.
