For engineering leaders responsible for infrastructure-as-a-service, cloud, the DevOps pipeline and beyond, improving delivery times while minimizing burnout can be a difficult task.

Meet David Slater, the value stream lead for Tasktop’s internal platform products. He’s been practicing value stream management (VSM) for the last two years and has a lot to share about the benefits he’s seen and the experiments he’s been running to:

  • Secure the right level of investment
  • Help IT become recognized and treated as a value generator as opposed to a cost center
  • Minimize dependencies by making their impacts visible and quantifiable
  • Reduce toil and improve how to manage it
  • Support and retain talent during this difficult time

Join David and Carmen DeArdo, Tasktop senior director, VSM research and design, for a conversation about how value stream management and flow metrics can be game-changers for platform teams in enterprise IT and how to start applying these principles internally.
