What is DevOps?

DevOps is the union of people, process, and technology to continually provide value to customers. DevOps breaks down the traditional silos to bring products to customers better and faster.

Teams use backlogs, Kanban boards, and dashboards to define and describe their work, making it visible, while measuring lead time and cycle time for valuable insights into work velocity.

Code is developed, tested, and reviewed using automation and DevOps platforms, enabling speedy and high-quality innovation through contiuous integration and automated testing.

Automating the deployment process drives high-value results, making it scalable, repeatable, and efficent, leading to reduced lead times and improved time to market.

Systems are actively monitored for issues and performance, with terms quickly identifying and addressing problems. Improvements are prioritized and executed based on feedback.

What is VSM?

Value Stream Management is the next generation of DevOps. It is a way of working that seeks to organize, map, measure, manage, improve, govern, and accelerate the flow of measurable value to the customer.

While delivering value has always been at the heart of the DevOps movement, VSM allows organizations to center around the products and services they offer and ultimately the value they deliver to their customers.

The VSM Roadmap

Vision

Set the vision and goals of what you want to accomplish.

Identify

Identify the value streams in your environment. A value stream delivers a product or service and always has a customer at the end.

Organize

Organize the people responsible for every step in the value stream. If your organization is functionally siloed, there are very good chances this will span many different areas.

Map

Map the end-to-end process from idea to production. Determine touch time and wait time to understand total cycle time. This mapping exercise is critical to understanding the current state of value flow.

Connect

Connect your value streams to your DevOps and VSM platforms to produce real, measurable insights on flow velocity, time, efficiency, load, and distribution.

Inspect and Adapt

Using the data and learnings from the value stream maps, work to continually optimize the flow of value to your customers.

What is Automation?

Automation is the practice of using tools and scripts to automate manual tasks in planning, development, building, testing, deploying, and operations processes.

It aims to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and accelerate the delivery of software by automating repetitive tasks and workflows.

Why Automation?

Faster software
delivery

Reduced manual
