Allstacks

Overview

Allstacks is an engineering intelligence and Value Stream Management (VSM) platform that helps software organizations measure, optimize, and predict software delivery. By analyzing data across version control, issue tracking, and messaging tools, it gives engineering leaders visibility into team productivity, project health, and delivery timelines without disrupting developer workflows.

What it does

• Aggregates data from Jira, GitHub, Slack, and other dev tools.
• Provides predictive forecasting for software release dates.
• Measures DORA metrics and engineering productivity.
• Identifies workflow bottlenecks and at-risk projects automatically.
• Aligns engineering efforts directly with business outcomes.

Who it's for

• CTOs
• VP of Engineering
• Engineering Managers
• Product Managers

Why it works

• Non-Intrusive: Gathers data passively from existing tools without requiring developers to log hours or change how they work.
• Predictive Power: Uses machine learning to analyze historical performance and accurately predict when features will actually ship.
• Business Alignment: Translates complex engineering metrics into clear business reports that the CEO and board can understand.
• Risk Mitigation: Flags projects that are quietly falling behind schedule before they turn into massive missed deadlines.

Founder story

Adam Dahlgren and Hersh Tapadia founded Allstacks in 2017. As engineering leaders, they were continuously frustrated by the disconnect between what product teams promised and what engineering could deliver. They realized the data existed to predict software delivery accurately, but it was scattered across dozens of tools. This prompted them to build a unified intelligence layer to bridge the gap between engineering and the rest of the business.

Alternatives

• Pluralsight Flow
• Jellyfish
• LinearB
• Velocity

Comparison overview

• Jellyfish: A massive competitor that focuses heavily on engineering resource allocation (how much time is spent on bugs vs features).
• LinearB: Highly developer-centric, focusing on team metrics and pull-request cycle times.
• Pluralsight Flow: An older, enterprise-heavy tool primarily focused on analyzing code commit patterns.
• Allstacks differentiates itself with its unique predictive forecasting engine—not just reporting on what happened yesterday, but actively predicting when future projects will finish based on historical velocity.
