Maximizing & tracking GenAI across the Software Development Lifecycle

Track adoption. Measure impact. Optimize results. End-to-end visibility across your entire delivery lifecycle.

GenAI for software development - Measure, optimize, and drive ROI

The adoption of GenAI tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Devin is exploding and becoming embedded in engineering workflows – our 2025 GenAI adoption research shows that 88% of software engineering teams are using them, with 60% adopting in the past 6 months alone. But this excitement comes with a problem: engineering leaders have no way to truly track impact or ROI and questions are being raised:

 

  • Are we truly realising their promised productivity gains?
  • How do you ensure that you are maximizing the potential benefits?
  • How do you understand GenAI adoption patterns across teams and personas?

 

This is the ‘Expectation vs. Reality’ gap. Productivity gains may occur at the individual level, but team-wide benefits are harder to prove – and that’s where Plandek comes in. Plandek’s Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) platform provides the visibility you need to answer that question – across your entire SDLC.

Quantify GenAI tool adoption and usage

Plandek’s unique ability to see across your entire SDLC enables it to understand GenAI usage and the real impact that adoption is having on overall delivery productivity.​
​Empirical research shows that when Plandek is adopted alongside GenAI tools, productivity benefits of c20% are achievable after 6 months.

Adoption & usage analytics

GenAI tool adoption and usage will vary significantly by team. The first key step is fully understanding adoption patterns.​

 

Engineering leaders have deep insight into how GenAI tools are being used, by whom, and with what impact:

 

  • Track tool usage by team and persona
  • Measure adoption deltas across functions
  • Visualise code acceptance by language
  • Understand uptake across seniority levels

 

GenAI adoption is rarely uniform – Plandek uncovers the full adoption story.

Explore the latest insights: GenAI Adoption in Software Engineering - 2025 Intelligence Report

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the rapid evolution and adoption of GenAI tools within software engineering. Our latest 2025 Intelligence Report, informed by extensive research across 15,000+ engineers, reveals:

  • Rapid adoption: 88% of organizations have integrated GenAI, with a remarkable 60% adopting within the last six months - the fastest technology adoption curve observed to date.​

  • ‘Expectation vs Reality Gap’: Despite widespread adoption, many organizations report limited impacts on overall velocity, product-fit, and quality improvements.​

  • Quality paradox: While GenAI tools promise significant quality improvements, quality remains the lowest impact area and the biggest source of concern among users.​

Plandek GenAI adoption analysis FAQs

GenAI adoption analysis with Plandek, tracks how tools like GitHub CoPilot are being used across your software delivery lifecycle. It measures adoption, correlates usage with delivery and quality metrics (like Cycle Time, PR throughput, Escaped Defects), and helps you optimize engineering workflows to get real ROI from AI productivity tools.

While tools like GitHub CoPilot boost individual productivity, many organizations struggle to track whether those gains translate into faster delivery or better outcomes. Without measurement, it’s impossible to know if GenAI is truly improving your software delivery process. Plandek provides the visibility needed to connect GenAI usage to business value.

Plandek integrates directly with your DevOps tools (e.g. GitHub, Jira, ADO) to detect CoPilot usage across teams and repos. It surfaces heatmaps and usage trends by persona, project, and timeframe; giving you a full view of where GenAI is being adopted and how consistently.

Key metrics include:

 

  • Cycle Time and Lead Time to Value
  • PR Throughput and Merge Frequency
  • Sprint Target Completion
  • Escaped Defects and Bug Resolution Time

 

These metrics help you determine if GenAI tools are actually accelerating delivery without degrading quality.

Yes. Plandek not only tracks usage and outcomes but also uses intelligent analytics to surface inefficiencies and delivery risks. It helps teams spot wasteful patterns, like high prompt churn or low-value code generation, so they can course-correct and improve how they use GenAI in day-to-day workflows.
