Your engineers’ time is precious. Spend it wisely by investing in your team’s happiness, your roadmap’s success, and your product’s stability. Investment Profile shows you how to strike that balance.
Strategy, meet execution
Flow shows what your engineers are working on, so you can determine if they’re working on the right things.
Understand your software development costs
Focus on the most important work
Did your engineers’ work move the business forward, or did changing priorities compete with your engineers’ most important work? Align your investment layers based on your business priorities to see what percentage of engineers’ time goes to each category.

Improve developer satisfaction
Spread out exciting feature work and not-so-fun maintenance to keep your developers happy and engaged. See how this work allocation changes across time; should an engineer spend a whole sprint working on bugs? Maybe. Should that engineer always get stuck with the bugs? Definitely not.
Knock out your roadmap
Ensure your team is working on the engineering roadmap and make engineering project management easier by giving stakeholders better timing estimates. Do this by measuring work going toward epics and prioritizing those epics by how they benefit the business.

Make cost capitalization simple
Remove the uncertainty around capitalizing software development costs with visibility into who worked on which projects. Connect this to your salary data for immediate insights into the actual costs of these projects.
Measure the past, plan the future
Compare time periods to each other to see how your engineers are improving across time. Additionally, visualize your engineers’ capacity to scale your engineering teams to your roadmap goals.

Frequently asked questions
How do I determine the cost of my engineering work?
The best way to determine the cost of each engineering project is to:
See which engineers worked on the project.
Measure the percentage of the engineers’ time that they spent on that project.
Multiply each engineer’s salary and payroll expenses by their respective percentages.
Add those percentages for your total project cost.
How to allocate work across engineers?
When allocating work to engineers, consider engineering satisfaction. Keep engineers happy by evenly distributing work like exciting new features, maintenance, regulatory and bug fixes.
How to prioritize work across engineers?
When prioritizing work, consider the urgency of each project. When you need work done as quickly as possible, allocate it to engineers who are stronger in that area. But when projects can take their time, assign it to engineers who could learn from that work. This balances speeding up software delivery with keeping engineers happy.
How to plan work across engineers?
In order to plan for the future, look at past data. How many tickets or story points did each team and each individual accomplish in a given amount of time? Then, use that data to assume that your team’s productivity will be relatively similar for future work.
