This week at DOES London 2018, we spoke about looking “Beyond CI\/CD” to take greater control of your DevOps transformation to accelerate your enterprise software delivery. By implementing both Release Automation and Value Stream Integration, organizations, agencies and institutions obtain a potent force that enables them to connect, visualize, measure and optimize how they plan, build and deliver software at scale.<\/p>\n

Application Release Automation (ARA) is crucial in helping larger organizations to ship software products faster in order to fight off the threat posed by truly Agile, digital-native competitors. Yet despite investments in ARA to eliminate the bottleneck between “dev” and “ops”, many are still finding that their end-to-end lead time and Time to Value (TtV) are still too long, unmeasured and unpredictable. That’s because there’s bottlenecks, latencies and dependencies further upstream.<\/p>\n

What’s more, once the delivery bottleneck is solved thanks to ARA, organizations no longer know where their current bottlenecks are – nor how to find them. Why? Because ARA tools were not designed to provide visibility into work further upstream – it’s focused on all activities in the Release pipeline from from code commit to production. With no holistic view or end-to-end traceability, the software delivery process remains obscure and unmanageable.<\/p>\n

That’s why leading IT organizations are investing in Value Stream Integration<\/a> to go beyond CI\/CD, which connects all key stages of software delivery – including release activities. Not only does it remove delay, reduce costly errors and ensure cross-team understanding, but it provides organizations with a fully visible and traceable flow of work that can be measured, managed and optimized to accelerate value delivery and enable true end-to-end DevOps.<\/p>\n
