Plandek for Finance Teams
Accelerate value delivery and improve technology ROI
Better understand how effectively technology resource is being utilised
Plandek enables tech leadership to work with finance teams to better understand where tech output, resource and cost is actually directed
- Track the proportion of output, resource and cost actually aligned around key roadmap priorities.
- Within planned work, view the balance of effort between technical debt and building new valuable features.
- See the ‘drag’ of unplanned works (such as bug fixing) on the capacity available for planned work to deliver strategic goals.
- Work with tech leaders to improve the alignment of resources to strategic priorities and thereby improve R&D return on investment.

Better understand how technology productivity and value delivery is changing over time
Plandek brings tech leadership and their stakeholders closer together. It allows the creation of a ‘balance scorecard’ of metrics that show how delivery efficiency is improving over time. Finance is often involved in developing these metrics:
- Combine Plandek’s market-leading software delivery metrics with custom imports of financial and HR data to create a clear view of technology ROI.
- Build a far better understanding of resource and cost allocation across your technology team. Quantify output and resource cost spent by strategic priority.
- See the cost of unplanned work and technical debt.
- See how your tech ROI and software delivery effectiveness compares to key benchmarks in your sector.
Improve tech budgeting and planning accuracy
Plandek helps finance teams collaborate with their tech counterparts to build more accurate budgets and plans:
- Plandek provides an improved understanding of tech resource capacity and utilisation - Plandek shows how much tech resource is available to work on roadmap new features, versus technical debt and unplanned work.
- Plandek quantifies the relationship between resource and output so you can better estimate the impact of changing team size when.
- Plandek improves the predictability of delivering improving your chances of delivering within budget.

Streamline R&D cost capitalisation and R&D tax credit applications
Streamline R&D cost capitalisation and R&D tax credit applications
Plandek greatly improves your R&D cost capitalisation process, improving accuracy and saving time:
- Use Plandek to identify the resource/activity/cost that is appropriate to classify as capex versus opex.
- Use a similar analysis in your claim for R&D tax credits. In the UK for example, the HMRC is tightening up on applications for tax credits making manual submission vulnerable to criticism.
