Pluralsight launched two new capabilities for its software development intelligence platform, Pluralsight Flow, which helps engineering teams accelerate software delivery. The new features include Investment Profile which is designed to help engineering leaders align engineering efforts to company priorities, justify investments, and accurately capitalize R&D expenses. The company is also incorporporating industry-standard DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics reporting into Pluralsight Flow to assist in measuring DevOps performance.

Engineering organizations have to balance high-level strategic initiatives with day-to-day maintenance and codebase health, but it is often an insurmountable task to understand exactly where engineering team effort is being spent. With Investment Profile, software engineering organizations can visualize where their resources and time are going. By understanding engineers' capacity and focus, leaders and teams can better allocate and distribute work by visualizing the balance between new features and necessary maintenance.

Investment Profile can be fully customized for the requirements of the organization, but also comes auto-configured out-of-the box so that leaders can immediately analyze historical data to understand prior investments and plan for future investments. Engineering leaders find the Investment Layers function of Investment Profile particularly valuable because the report can be customized with existing investment categories.
