I really recommend using Jellyfish; if this is something that your company is looking for, definitely give it a try. The Jellyfish team is also very responsive and supportive while updating, changing, or modifying required data. Having metrics from different tools in one place is very useful, especially when you have several engineering teams.

Cons
  • UI and navigation aren't very intuitive and require additional research before being able to use.
  • The individual developer metrics are not very useful and make the interface feel cluttered.
  • Overall, it takes time for the end-user to truly learn how to use the platform and navigate. There is so much information/data available that although the above is a con, we felt it still made sense, despite the learning curve.

Alternatives Considered
GitHub provided a lot of issues for us from an end-user point of view. Overall, Jellyfish is more intuitive; although it does come with its struggles and downfalls, these are something that just takes time to figure out. GitHub was more focused on developing metrics ONLY, and a lot of these metrics were black and white, which resulted in a failure to analyze the bigger picture. GitHub's metrics were mostly unreliable. After using Jellyfish for the past 2ish years, we love it so much better. Despite the learning curve to understand how to use the interface, overall, this provides so much more insights and analytics in a way that allows us to be strategic with our business goals.

Much more advanced and customizable than iterations of the above tools I've used. But more focused on Flow metrics than others. And more complex, IMO.

Planview Viz Screenshots

Screenshot of Portfolio Insights consolidates the highlights from a product line, portfolio, group, or department.Screenshot of The Flow Metrics dashboard visualizes and measures product value streams. Out-of-the-box metrics and analytics reveal problem areas, illuminate dependencies, and guide investment to improve speed, velocity, and quality.Screenshot of The Flow Modeler is a visual layout of the end-to-end workflow of an entire value stream, from customer request to customer delivery. Flow Modeler builds the value stream map directly from the data in the user's tools and shows in real-time where bottlenecks are emerging.Screenshot of An easy-to-read Neglected Work Work in Progress (WIP) graph alerts you when value streams have taken on more work than they can deliver.Screenshot of Business-aligned visibility into value delivery aligns teams to measurable outcomes. Flow Metrics alone do not help an organization accelerate value delivery - they must be evaluated against business results. Business and technology teams can work toward a single set of goals and align around a joint set of outcomes.
