Improve efficiency and speed up time to market with Planview Viz (formerly Tasktop Viz) value stream analytics software

Planview Viz enables CIOs, transformation and agility executives, and engineering and product leaders to measure value streams, uncover bottlenecks, and address dependencies in software delivery to become more efficient, predictable, and profitable.

Connect your software development processes to strategic business outcomes with Planview Viz Planview Viz offers clear, simple visibility into fragmented software delivery processes and toolchains so you can make better, faster decisions. Our business-ready insights use a common language to align delivery teams to measurable business outcomes and our Flow Metrics provide leading indicators into the impact of your transformation efforts.

Features

• **Un-Siloed Metrics: **For the first time, get a bird’s eye view of teams, tools, and departments. Understand how value flows, where it is constrained, and most importantly, correlate those metrics with business outcomes.
• **Rich Out-of-the-Box Dashboards: **Get meaningful visibility quickly with pre-configured dashboards that implement the Flow Framework®. No customization, no time lost.
• **Flow Time: **Measure how quickly value is delivered. Start the clock when work is committed and measure flow through all active and wait states, until customer delivery.
• **Flow Efficiency®: **Identify bottlenecks and dependencies by measuring the ratio of wait times in the end-to-end process.
• **Flow Velocity®: **Measure and trend throughput over time to determine if value delivery is accelerating, decelerating, or staying constant.
• **Flow Load®: **Monitor over and under-utilization of value streams, which can lead to reduced productivity. Flow Load helps balance demand with capacity.
• **Flow Distribution®: **Ensure a healthy distribution of work profiles: features, defects, debt, and risk. Prioritize specific types of work based on business priorities.
• **Portfolio View: **A single dashboard conveys a snapshot of your group, portfolio, or product line. Quickly identify high performers and those requiring attention in terms of agility, speed, and product health.
• **Project to Product Metrics: **Get instant visibility into the progress of the organization’s shift from project to product-based IT and identify how you’re executing against plans.
• **Business-Agility Metrics: **Identify where product teams are ‘doing agile’ but not ‘being agile’ and where the ability to respond faster to the market is at risk.
• **Dependency Insights: **Home in on value streams that might slow down overall delivery and jump in to proactively mitigate the risk.
• **Capacity Insights: **Prevent untenable workloads and unrealistic commitments. Understand when value streams will have the capacity for new work.
• **Neglected WIP Insights: **Spot overcommitted teams who have limited capacity. Surface leading indicators that will help you address excess WIP in your value streams.
• **Bottleneck Detection: **See exactly where and when your work is getting stuck and iteratively experiment to solve systemic issues like a lack of automation or resources.
• **Timeline Events: **Insert a timeline into your Flow Metrics to understand how changes to teams and processes impact Flow Metrics and business 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.
• **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: **Smart modeling automates workflow mapping to the four flow states (new, active, waiting, done), so you can get to metrics faster. Users can fine-tune the auto-modeled data to accommodate nuance and context.
• **Support for Hybrid Organizations: **Create value streams that reflect your organization’s realities as you transition from project to product.
• **Flexible Workflow Modeling: **Configure workflows that reflect your organization’s technical ecosystem and shape complex value streams across teams and projects.
• Common Data Model
• Define your own view of artifacts and model relationships across tools. Create conditions with metadata and easily update models as new states and processes emerge.
• **Reliability: **The solution is a purpose-built data, analytics, and synchronization platform, built on a massive proactive testing suite to maximize data fidelity.
• **Robust Platform: **Trusted by 53 of the Fortune 100, our platform operates at the scale of the world’s largest enterprises.
• **Rapid Regenerative Processing: **Planview Viz eliminates lags between reality and metrics and lets you re-contextualize your data as your product portfolio evolves.
• **Investment Protection: **Our meticulous design minimizes API calls to your operational tools to ensure day-to-day work continues without disruption.
• **Enterprise-Level Security: **Planview Viz is SOC Type 2 Certified.
• **Data-Led Decisions: **Drive decisions using AI-generated insights from multiple value streams. Immediately identify the most important bottlenecks to guide where to pivot and make changes.
• **Increase Predictability: **Predictive analyses and forward-looking simulations trained on your data inform better planning and alignment across the organization.
• **Democratize Data: **A conversational interface interprets Flow Metrics in plain language and summarizes actionable, clear insights so teams can mitigate risks, improve agility, and accelerate delivery.
• Access VSM Expertise: Gain contextual access to relevant ideas and best practices from Planview thought leadership and industry frameworks like SAFe®.
