VSM Impact on High-Performance

Slides for a talk for the Interact conference with LinearB. Abstract:

The Value Stream Management (VSM) Consortium’s new research demonstrates the link between value streams and high-performing engineering teams. Helen, the chair of the VSM Consortium, shares the research and outlines how engineering leaders can get started with VSM.

4. www.vsmconsortium.org What and WHY 4 Delighted customers mean higher organizational performance Optimizing value flow and realization results in sublime customer experience “Value Stream Management is a combination of people, process and technology that maps, optimizes, visualizes, measures, and governs business value flow through heterogeneous software delivery pipelines from idea through development and into production.” Forrester Value stream management optimizes value flow and realization
5. www.vsmconsortium.org The Duality of VSM VALUE FLOW REALIZATION Outputs (value stream health) Outcomes (customer experience) Flow is the journey of work from idea to realization. Its travel should be friction-free. It’s a continuous steady stream of value for customers. Realization is the fulfillment of desired outcomes. It’s when a customer experiences the value intended. • Speed of flow • Frequency of delivery • Waste in the value stream • The work types underway • Customers actively using capability • Rate at which new customers arrive • Customers’ description of experience • Value stream finance health 5

7. www.vsmconsortium.org Who is VSM for? Enterprises, Start-Ups, Scale-Ups? 7 “By 2023, 70% of organizations will use value stream management to improve flow in the DevOps pipeline, leading to faster delivery of customer value.” Gartner
8. www.vsmconsortium.org What Do You Want to Do? 8 • Know how long it takes to deliver value to your customers • Accelerating value delivery to customers • Gain insights into where waste is • Collaborate end-to-end on your product lifecycle • Have data-driven conversations • Have traceability through your DevOps toolchain • Estimate the value your work will deliver • Build hypotheses for the value of your work • Understand how much value your work realized • Amplify and shorten feedback loops • Make better informed business decisions • Maximise your value stream’s profitability FLOW REALIZATION Flow is the journey of work from idea to realization. Its travel should be friction-free. It’s a continuous steady stream of value for customers. Realization is the fulfillment of desired outcomes. It’s when a customer experiences the value intended.
