Organizations
Plannflow is a versatile solution that can be used by any organization that relies on
workflows with shared resources to deliver their products or services.
This includes shops with manufacturing parts,
IT delivery teams with products and features to develop,
engineering product delivery organizations, and more.
The goal of Plannflow is to automate your organization’s schedule/roadmap with the current capacity,
workflows, priorities, and products to build in an easy and fast way. The simulation feature
of Plannflow allows you to experiment with these parameters to optimize and facilitate
decision-making in terms of organizational strategies.
With Plannflow, you can streamline your organization’s workflow and improve productivity
