What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
As DevOps matures as the foundation for developing software, organizations are turning to value stream management to increase the flow of important software to customers, reduce waste and quantify the value of delivered software. But the devil is in the details. What metrics should drive the VSM effort? Which bottlenecks should be tackled first? How do you pinpoint the most critical data? To what degree do DevOps and value stream management tools require integration? And how do you communicate that value to the key stakeholders? In this program, Techstrong Research principal Mitch Ashley and Atlassian’s Jeff Keyes, along with Helen Beal, will answer these critical questions and cover the findings from our recent Techstrong Research PulseMeter poll on value stream management. Attendees will learn:
- How to overcome misaligned organizational structures
- Which data sources provide the greatest impact on our VSM efforts
- Whether having VSM integrated with your DevOps toolchain can accelerate the initiative
