Move Over DevOps — It’s The Renaissance Of Value Stream Management

Traditional DevOps is dead.

But don’t let it be forgotten. Rather, let it evolve with Value Stream Management (VSM) to become a tool that lets you better measure the value your product is adding to your customers.

In today’s episode, Helen Beal, Chief Ambassador at the DevOps Institute, shares her compelling case for rethinking traditional DevOps through the lens of VSM to help businesses build more customer-centric products.

What's in it for you:

  1. How to reframe DevOps to conquer the Wall of Confusion and promote innovation
  2. Helen's view of what DevOps should do more and less of
  3. Why you should start thinking of DevOps as VSM
  4. How and when you should start incorporating VSM in the way you build products
  5. What you should really monitor and observe to determine whether your product adds value to customers
