Beyond Projects, Agile, and DevOps

The Value Stream Management Consortium’s latest State of VSM Report showed that the highest performers use VSM practices to optimize the flow of their work and their customer experiences.

The report shows how VSM adoption is increasing rapidly globally as people and teams discover the limitations of waterfall, agile, and DevOps. VSM combines the best of all these and injects much-needed lean and systems thinking practices.

In this talk, we’ll show you how to assess your current VSM capabilities using a tool designed by the VSMC that aligns with their well-established VSM implementation roadmap.

Key takeaways:
How to baseline your current VSM capabilities
How to measure progress on your VSM implementation journey
Why VSM practices are needed to build on what we’ve learned about projects, agility, and DevOps
