    Flow Optimizer

    Streamline and optimize software delivery.

    Planview Viz provides critical capabilities to streamline your software delivery processes. It surfaces the invisible bottlenecks that plague your software delivery processes and gives you actionable steps for improvement. By focusing on efficiency and strategic alignment, Flow Optimizer in Planview Viz helps you: 

    • Reduce waste, improve productivity: Identify and eliminate slowdowns and bottlenecks to ensure a smooth and predictable flow of value across your development pipeline.
    • Make delivery more predictable: Use real-time metrics and insights to understand the impact of work-in-progress and manage delivery timelines.
    • Align with business objectives: Ensure all value streams are modeled to make all work visible and align development efforts with corporate strategy.
    • Gain end-to-end visibility: Track progress and monitor all work right down to the artifact level to ensure alignment with business objectives. 
  • Understand your entire product portfolio performance at a glance. Prioritize investments and allocate resources where they’ll have the most impact. View • a larger version of the image
    Portfolio Insights

    Make smarter investment decisions based on data, not a hunch.

    Don’t spend time digging for data. Portfolio Insights consolidates the highlights from your product line, portfolio, group, or department all in one place. Quickly identify when delivery is at risk or business processes are deteriorating. Get the strategic data you need to make smarter, faster decisions.

    • Speed and Dependency Insights. Pinpoint your fastest and slowest moving value streams and Flow Items to quickly identify critical dependencies and delivery risks.
    • Agility Insights. Understand when teams have the capacity for new work or when value streams are overloaded to prioritize investment and effort accordingly.
    • Product Health. Build the skills your team needs to focus on innovation and quality, while also paying down debt and minimizing risk.
    • Business Alignment. Ensure your team is working with their internal partners and key stakeholders to align on priorities and OKRs.
  • Easy to read, color-coded dashboards with filtering and drilldown capabilities reveal consistent metrics for your entire product value stream. View • a larger version of the image
    Flow Metrics Dashboards

    Make investment trade-offs visible.

    The Flow Metrics dashboard clearly visualizes and measures your product value streams. Out-of-the-box metrics and analytics reveal problem areas, illuminate dependencies, and guide investment to improve speed, velocity, and quality. All work profiles, including debt, security, and compliance, are evident and can be prioritized to drive business results, ensure software sustainability, and support future innovation.

    • Measure true end-to-end. Create consensus about your workflows and how long they take. Understand what you can do to improve efficiency and increase velocity.
    • Make work visible. Color-coded charts illustrate the work profiles and de-facto trade-offs the value stream is making between Features, Defects, Risk, and Debt.
    • Monitor what works. User-created timeline events overlay Flow Metrics to reveal the impact of changes made to people, processes, or technology.
    • Learn from the pros. Embedded tutorials from flow experts help develop the skills to remove waste and maintain a healthy value stream.
  • Planview Viz models flow across every stage of the software development lifecycle so you can instantly identify your bottlenecks. View • a larger version of the image
    Flow Modeler

    The Flow Modeler is a visual layout of the end-to-end workflow of an entire value stream, from customer request to customer delivery.

    Why settle for value stream mapping when you can have live visualization of end-to-end value stream flow? Flow Modeler builds the value stream map directly from the data in your tools and shows in real-time where bottlenecks are emerging.

    • Get everyone on the same page, digitally. Create one living source of truth of how work flows from idea to outcome.
    • Show me the bottleneck. A picture is worth a thousand words, especially to your boss. Flow Modeler helps make the business case and garner support to address existing constraints.
    • How bad is it? Easily identify where work is piling up and how long it’s aging with intuitive visualizations.
    • What work is suffering? Drill down into the actual artifacts caught in a bottleneck and continue your contextual investigation within the source tool.
  • WIP Insights gives you a quick, visual indicator of overloaded value streams, where capacity and demand are out of balance. View • a larger version of the image
    WIP Insights

    An easy-to-read Neglected Work in Progress (WIP) graph alerts you when value streams have taken on more work than they can deliver.

    Nothing slows down flow more than unstable systems, where new work arrives faster than existing work can be completed. Don’t let that happen to you: WIP Insights alert teams who take on too much work to the point where velocity, time-to-market and engagement begin to suffer. Use the WIP insights to understand:

    • How much work is too much based on historical performance
    • How time-to-market is predicted to increase when WIP is neglected
    • When teams will have capacity for new work
  • Value streams are connected to business goals to align delivery teams with business priorities. View • a larger version of the image
    Embedded Business Results

    Business-aligned visibility into value delivery aligns teams to measurable outcomes.

    Flow Metrics alone do not help an organization accelerate value delivery—they must be evaluated against business results. Planview Viz embeds business results directly into the Flow Metrics dashboard, creating a tangible link between product value streams and results. Business and technology teams can work toward a single set of goals and align around a joint set of outcomes.

    • Work on the right things. Use four categories of business results—business value, business cost, quality, and employee happiness—to determine how and where flow needs to improve.
    • Make correlations easy. Visualize Flow Metrics trends alongside key results to understand how they impact each other. See the correlation between Flow Metrics and reduced costs, improved quality, or employee engagement scores.
    • Take corrective action. Calibrate your value stream to achieve desired results. Allocate more resources, set priorities, change workflows, or modify tooling, until you reach the desired results.

    • Product Lifecycle Insights

      Compare the work being completed in your value stream to healthy Flow Distribution targets for products at any lifecycle stage, from Incubation to Maturity.

    • Digitally Rendered Value Stream Maps

      Your data builds a live value stream map of the workflow sequence, highlighting new, active, waiting, and done states overlaid with the relative time spent in each state.

  • Let people close to the work create, maintain, and adjust value stream configuration with point-and-click modeling.

    • Modeling at the Edge

      Point-and-click modeling lets subject matter experts quickly create accurate product value streams without dependencies on niche technical expertise or consultants.

    • Smart Modeling
