You Won’t Believe How the Grinch Saved Christmas!

You Won’t Believe How the Grinch Saved Christmas! Three things the Grinch did with the value streams to help Whoville “It came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags.  Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more. Now you listen to me! Even if we’re horribly mangled, there’ll be no sad faces on Christmas.” said the Grinch. While the Grinch may have hated Christmas cheer, deep down he wanted to be part of the rave. He wanted the people of Whoville to see what he saw. He ...

The Hottest Value Stream Metrics (That Actually Matter)

There is no shortage of metrics related to software delivery. Agile metrics; DevOps and DORA metrics; support, services and operational metrics; Lean, value stream and flow metrics; product and predictability metrics. All trumpeted by their own champions as the hottest thing since sliced bread. And ConnectALL’s research shows that as a result of the sheer volume of measures, organizations are not confident in selecting metrics. They struggle utilizing analytics platforms and tools, especially without relevant out-of-the-box dashboards with metrics that are pre-selected to solve key challenges. That's not cool at all. :snowman: DevOps.com is excited to host ConnectALL's SVP of ...

TechStrong Con 2022

  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? For example, look at Initech, the company in the classic comedy movie Office Space, and Tom Smykowski’s self-described job description — he takes the specs from the customers and routes them to the software ...

Principles of agile are baked into VSM, and VSM in many ways represents an extension of the short cycle/fast feedback approach championed in DevOps. Many organizations struggle to apply agile across silos, and others may struggle to determine ways to align agile workflows towards ...
