Value Streams – Accelerate Your DevOps Journey!
2 likes322 views
The document discusses Value Stream Management (VSM) and its importance in optimizing software delivery by mapping and analyzing value flows through delivery pipelines. It outlines the metrics to capture, the steps to implement VSM, and the challenges faced in traditional value stream mapping. Additionally, it introduces the Plutora platform and its capabilities for managing VSM effectively.

Why Capture Software Delivery Metrics? • Visibility • Strategic direction • Measure your Digital Transformation/Agile adoption What Metrics Should I Capture? • Velocity including business agility • Quality - Customer satisfaction & impact to Operations • Cost I don’t have a VSM tool. Now what? • Insights from existing tools • Manual calculation • Run a mapping session – Old School How do I Capture Delivery Metrics? • Decide what your Value Streams are • Split the Value Stream into logical parts • Identify where the data you require is held (or not held) today

When to Start? • It’s never too early or too late! • Whatever your current maturity level • What if I’m partway through a digital transformation? • I’m already transformed! How do I Show Value Quickly? • Start with what you know and can measure today • Keep it focussed to start with - Start small • Keep it simple - Start high-level across the SDLC • Start at the left and work right as you are able • Automate where possible - Or it’s just another overhead • Even just focussing within your sphere of influence has benefits What are the Steps of VSM? • Leverage metrics to identify constraints • Investigate and identify the root cause(s) • Produce a remediation plan • Look for optimizations Showing Progress on your Digital Transformation Journey • Baseline • Transform • Re-measure

PAGE 12 Value Stream Management & Value Stream Mapping What Will Value Stream Management Give me? • Visibility of my entire SDLC • Impact of digital transformation to my Value Stream(s) • Consensus on the way forward • Repeatability • Identify constraints • An objective view of the value being delivered What is Value Stream Mapping? • High-level graphical representation of a Value Stream • Workshop involving representatives of all areas across a Value Stream • Value Stream Map used to identify constraints and identify areas for optimisation • Outputs - Current & proposed Value Stream Map. Initiatives Challenges with Traditional Value Stream Mapping • Pulls key people from their day jobs and is therefore expensive • Still mainly paper-based • Mainly done on gut feel. Can be emotive • Needs to be repeated
