The term “value stream management” has become popular among the DevOps crowd in conversations about DevOps processes and agile, but the concept has yet to take hold in many organizations. In this panel webinar, we explore the “what” of value stream management and the “why”—how organizations can benefit by understanding the value of each step in the software development life cycle. We’ll also offer up a few best practices for adopting value stream management.
