User Feedback

Simple but powerful. The customer support has been fantastic. Integrations are easy to set up and manage and we have been able to use the interconnected data to drive internal conversations about team dynamic and workload much more effectively.

The essential tool to support teams in modern software delivery. Plandek helps teams to understand their areas for improvement in a way that the default charts in Jira don’t enable. It helps us fully understand how we are working and what parts of our processes are bottlenecks, and what parts are being impacted by the improvements that we make.

The tool you wish your ticketing system already had. It lets you view your Jira tickets (and other data you may push such as deploy times) in a highly configurable, easy to understand charts. Plandek have great support and they are quick to respond to your questions and requests.

Insightful metrics for all Agile teams. Plandek helps us make informed decisions about what metrics to concentrate on. We don’t have to fight with a UI in different applications to analyse the data; it’s all in one place and integrated across all the services we use.
