How Your Value Stream Management Practices Enable DevOps and Data-Driven Organizational Strategy
The combination of Value Stream Management (VSM), DevOps, and Data-Driven Organizational Strategy is crucial to the long-term success of modern organizations in highly connected and competitive environments.
The challenge is that defining your VSM Strategy tends to go straight from Step B to Step G without any regard for everything that needs to happen from C to F. In order to understand how to support your Development Value Streams, you must understand the purpose for which your business exists, what exactly is the value that it delivers, and how do you measure the successful delivery of that value (hint: it’s not ROI). Once you know what your currency of value is and how you measure it, you still shouldn’t go straight to what systems you use to create that value.
Before you go to systems, you have to look at what business processes you use to execute your Operational Value Stream. Once you know what business processes you have in place, then and only then, can you truly define your VSM Strategy.
Our session will review proven success patterns and real examples of how clients have advanced their Value Stream Management practices to create better DevOps and Data-Driven Organizational strategies. We will also highlight common failure points and how to overcome them.
