As businesses gear up for 2025, one truth is clear: you can’t scale what you can’t plan. For tech companies, aligning financial strategy with engineering execution is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a competitive necessity. 

Too often, teams budget based on outdated spreadsheets, disconnected forecasts, or assumptions that don’t reflect real-world development realities. The result? Wasted resources, misaligned priorities, and missed goals. 

This is exactly why Honeycomb Software and Fuelfinance joined forces to host a high-impact session “Align Financial and Software Development Planning to Rock Your 2025.” 
 

Together, we explored how to bridge the gap between product roadmaps and financial forecasts, so your plans aren’t just ambitious, but achievable. 

What we covered

The power of integrated planning 

Discover how coordinated planning between finance and engineering teams can eliminate silos, reduce friction, and bring greater clarity to execution. 

Tools + strategy = success 

Effective planning is more than just access to data—it’s about applying the right tools with the right mindset. This session highlighted how financial tooling and strategic development planning work best when used together. 

KPIs Worth Tracking 

Not all metrics matter equally. We broke down the key performance indicators finance and engineering teams should align on, including burn rate, development velocity, and forecast accuracy. 

Practical planning in action 

From tracking essential metrics and avoiding budget bloat to applying planning strategies that deliver results, this session offered tactical guidance for improving financial and development alignment. 

Case studies: wins and lessons learned 

We explored real-world examples: what worked, what didn’t, and why. Attendees left with actionable steps to sidestep common pitfalls and strengthen collaboration between finance and engineering.
