Optimize R&D Spend to Meet Business Goals
Effectively aligning engineering efforts to business priorities is about finding a common language. Translate project resourcing to business outcomes and informed recommendations on future strategy with LinearB.
We correlate data across your tools to identify bottlenecks and automate developer workflow optimization.
This doesn’t tell you much....
The Need for Visibility into Resource Allocation
Operating efficiently is crucial to engineering success. So is ensuring business alignment by working on projects that will delight customers and help drive revenue and retention. Delivering on this dual mandate requires visibility into R&D resourcing that includes costs, investments, and industry benchmarks.
Balancing Engineering and Business Needs
Translate engineering health to business impact with Resource Allocation reporting. This rich information gives leaders the tools they need to showcase how engineering investments will impact delivery timelines, understand the real cost of unplanned work, and estimate the ROI of engineering efforts.
