Planview Viz

Planview Viz is a Value Stream Management (VSM) product that gives organizations real-time visibility into fragmented software delivery processes, connecting delivery execution to business outcomes. Built on a common data model, Viz integrates data across teams, tools, and departments into real-time visuals that measure fully connected product value streams. Viz generates end-to-end Flow Metrics, which serve as the foundation for value stream analytics and connect delivery work to strategic outcomes.

Flow Metrics

• Flow Velocity measures how fast work is being delivered and whether value delivery is accelerating
• Flow Load measures how much work sits in each step of the process and whether demand and capacity are balanced
• Flow Efficiency measures how much time work spends waiting and where bottlenecks are holding up value delivery
• Flow Time measures how long work takes to move from idea to outcome
• Flow Distribution measures how capacity is divided between feature, defect, technical debt, and risk work
• Flow Metrics are generated end-to-end across the full value stream from a common data model, rather than derived from a single tool

Delivery Analytics and Bottleneck Identification

• DORA Metrics track engineering health and delivery performance alongside Flow Metrics
• The Bottleneck Finder allows single-click drill-down from a macro to micro view to identify which specific work items are causing delays
• Real-time WIP visibility alerts teams when work in progress is building up and shows how much additional work can realistically be taken on
• Investment ratio visibility shows how capacity is split across feature work, technical debt, defects, and risk or compliance work

Portfolio and Executive Insights

• Portfolio insights provide a high-level delivery view tailored for executive audiences, giving business and technology leaders a shared language for delivery performance
• Flow Metrics are designed to correlate directly with business outcomes, supporting measurement of transformation initiative ROI using leading indicators

Configuration and Toolchain Connectivity

• Edge modeling is a point-and-click method for configuring value stream models in under 30 minutes, without ETL, data lake dependencies, or custom coding, automating roughly 90% of modeling based on industry benchmarks
• Pre-built connectors support Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, GitHub, and other delivery tools, used by more than half of the Fortune 100
• Connectors are isolated from API changes and version upgrades in the underlying toolchain
• Real-time, cloud-based dashboards connect to existing tool infrastructure as-is, without requiring changes to tools, processes, workflows, or organizational structure
