How it Works

Deep Planner is a forecasting and planning engine that instantly shows when your product goals can realistically ship, based on your real team capacity. Think about it as a navigation panel on a ship that allows for captain to oversee the full route and for teams to figure out the immediate work they need to do to reach next miles towards the destination.

Example

Goal: given list of features, create a delivery forecast

You define:

• What you want to build (Epics & estimates)
• Who will build it (Teams, roles & capacity)

Deep Planner calculates the forecast in seconds:

• When each epic can ship
• What will delay delivery
• How trade-offs affect timelines

The Process

Step #1 Feed the inputs: epics and teams

Step #2: adjust scope

Step #3: example output

• Resources are leveled by distributing the daily load between the teams​
• Tasks are sequenced by priorities and dependency constraints​
• Risk buffer is included to tasks duration​
• => Ideal for an early-stage decision making

The Technology Behind Forecasting

Deep Planner is not a static Gantt chart. It is a constraint-based planning engine that performs roadmap simulations. Case studies show the high efficiency of the algorithm: better productivity and performance of teams, and up to 95% of successful delivery rate.

The advantages are achieved through the following optimizations:

1. Decreasing multi-tasking to relieve the cognitive load for teams.
2. Adding buffers to prevent local slips in execution.
3. Dependencies visualization to address bottlenecks early.
