Accelerate Digital Transformation by Understanding Value-Added and Non-Value-Added Activities in Software Development and Delivery Lance Knight, President & COO The definition of digital transformation is “the adoption of digital technology by an organization. Common goals for its implementation are to improve efficiency, value or innovation.” Imagine if you could accelerate this transformation by identifying the value-added and non-value-added work in a software delivery value stream?
