Deep Planner™ - the Planning Tool that Enables Agile

Deep Planner is a tool created by professionals who have worked in IT for many years and identified the main issues of modern software development planning: the high costs and low efficiency of planning, unjustified complexity, and dissatisfied clients and employees.

Our tool is for people who want to move from complexity to simplicity, from frustration to clarity.

Deep Planner can be used for companies practicing:

Use Cases

Automatic creation of roadmaps

The main feature of Deep Planner is the ability to generate roadmaps automatically. Roadmaps guide teams and leaders by defining priorities and schedules and allocating work between teams based on capacity and estimates. Our roadmaps are designed to first of all provide high-level guidance, not strict or overly detailed plans.

Below is the typical flow of creating a roadmap in Deep Planner:

Step 1: Create or Import Epics

Create or import epics. Options include:

  • Create tickets manually in Deep Planner
  • Import tickets from JIRA

For successful planning, high-level estimates should be provided for each epic (e.g., in story points) in a dedicated epic section.

Step 2: Define Teams

Teams are created that will be assigned tasks on the roadmap. Deep Planner operates with teams rather than individuals, allowing for better control and flexibility.

For each team, define:

  • Name
  • Capacity
  • Responsibility (aligned with job description)
  • Domain area (part of the system they own)

These resources will be matched to high-level estimates from the previous step.

Step 3: Create a Roadmap

A roadmap starts with a timebox, a date range like a quarter or a year. Deep Planner supports flexible timeboxes and even multiple ones on a single roadmap.

You can assign teams, drag and drop epics, preview, and publish. Share the roadmap with your organization or view it on the dashboard.
