DevOps for the business: Enter value stream management for enterprise software woes
Summary
Flint Brenton provides a working description in a Forbes post from a couple of years back: its "a lean business practice that helps determine the value of software development and delivery efforts and resources. The role of VSM is providing the visibility needed across the software development lifecycle, by collecting measurements and metrics on what is important to business outcomes ("value stream mapping"). While this is impressive, it tracks closely to the large majorities doing some form of DevOps, agile development, AI and many other things, and it depends on definitions and applications may be spotty. So, consider VSM a work in progress, and hopefully, another step in making software development and delivery a seamless component of business growth. "This systems thinking approach helps DevOps teams to expand their focus beyond siloed operational metrics to instead deliver on customer-centric, team-level performance indicators."
