How to Use Logic to Control Flow, Create Governance and Maintain Compliance in Your Software Delivery Value Stream

In by Jenna Potts

Just like how logic gates are used for digital circuits to trigger outputs only when certain logic sequences are applied, you can now automatically ‘turn on’ or ‘not turn on’ outputs in a software delivery pipeline based on logical conditions. ConnectALL’s value stream automation now has the Logic Flow Adapters, that uses boolean logic (AND and OR logic) to enable users to implement business workflow logic into their value streams that depends on multiple inputs from different applications. These can be used when you want to control the flow of information through your value stream.  In this 10-minute webinar, we …

Reducing or eliminating waste is one of the most important tenets of Lean software engineering. Waste can be found everywhere, from too many people working on a project and ineffective …
