    in Our Value Stream, Making it Visible, and Expanding it Across the Organization 5 6 “Once we have identified a value stream to which we want to apply DevOps principles and patterns, our next step is to gain a sufficient understanding of how value is delivered to the customer: what work is performed and by whom, and what steps can we take to improve flow.”

    Value Streams Will Define the Future of DevOps’ by Daniel Betts, Chris Saunderson, Ron Blair, Manjunath Bhat, Jim Scheibmeir, Hassan Ennaciri. Published 5 October 2020 Vendor Selection MatrixTM Value Stream Management: Top Global Vendors 2020’ by Eveline Oehrlich, published July 2020 The Forrester WaveTM: Value Stream Management Solutions, Q3 2020’ by Chris Condo with Christopher Mines, Diego Lo Giudice, Andrew Dobak, and Kara Hartig, published July 15, 2020 ‘DevOps 2021: Evaluating High Growth Markets in the DevOps Pipeline’ by Stephen D. Hendrick, published April 2020 “To accelerate development and enable continuous delivery of customer value, organizations need to reach the next level in their agile and DevOps practices. I&O leaders and application leaders must focus on value stream management to maximize flow, improve delivery efficiency and drive innovation.” “Value Stream Management is a must-do not a nice-to-do. Enterprise organizations are realizing that increasing the velocity and quality of software delivery are not the only goals.Business teams and product owners are looking for what are the returns on investment and how they are delighting customers.” “When we published our first VSM evaluation in 2017, few AD&D leaders had heard of VSM; since then, the VSM tools market has evolved rapidly as have prospective buyers of VSM tools. AD&D planners, engineers, and release experts understand VSM and want it to help them plan, create, and deliver software experiences that align to both the business’ and customers’ needs.” “Value stream management is a market in which large enterprises had massive expectations back in 2018 Q2. Currently, vendors appear to be delivering against these expectations given the nearly 50% growth in penetration that is expected to occur in 2020 and 20+ percent growth in 2021.” Gartner Research in Action Forrester EMA

    DEVOPS INSTITUTE. 11 Find the people accountable for every step in each value stream. Start Where you are Vision Connect the parts in your DevOps toolchain aligned to the steps in your Value Stream Map and start getting real-time data and insights into your value stream's flow. Use your insights to and design experiments to adapt and optimize your flow and continually delight your customers. Start by identifying your value streams - a value stream is anything that delivers a product or service. You're aiming to accelerate the flow of value to the customer. Bring the players in your value stream together for a mapping exercise: find where the idea starts, track every step until the value is delivered. Now you've automated your value stream map, use it! Set yourselves goals and use your retrospectives to look at where you are. Set your long term vision and goals Identify Map Inspect Organize Connect Adapt

  12. PAGE | Human Aspects 13 “A “stream” is the continuous

    flow of work aligned to a business domain or organizational capability. Continuous flow requires clarity of purpose and responsibility so that multiple teams can coexist, each with their own flow of work. A stream-aligned team is a team aligned to a single, valuable stream of work; this might be a single product or service, a single user story, or a single user persona. Further, the team is empowered to build and deliver customer or user value as quickly, safely, and independently as possible, without requiring hand-offs to other teams to perform parts of the work.” “The stream-aligned team is the primary team type in an organization, and the purpose of the other fundamental team topologies is to reduce the burden on the stream-aligned teams.”
