Din väg till smidighet i affärsverksamheten
Värdeflödeshantering (VSM) i programvaruleveranserna är en kritisk metod för att lyckas i dagens digitala landskap. Den systematiska metoden för att mäta och förbättra flödet hjälper organisationer att förkorta tiden till marknaden, öka genomströmningen och förbättra produktkvaliteten. Denna bloggkategori för VSM ger pedagogiska insikter, bästa praxis och råd från Planview och branschexperter om hur du kan ta itu med de begränsningar eller problem som du möter i livscykeln för leverans av mjukvara för att uppnå bättre affärsresultat.
The back cover of the Project to Product book states that: “All author royalties will be donated to the P2P scholarship and not-for-profit organizations supporting diversity, women, and minorities in technology”. This post provides a short summary into why I decided to do this, and why I think this mission is important and aligned with...
Throughout this Project to Product series I’ve explored how we need to bring the same rigor to architecting our software delivery value streams as what we’re witnessing in advanced manufacturing plants. Once we agree on what flows, we can analyze those flows to identify bottlenecks and opportunities to remove them. However, every time I’ve asked...
Last month the entire Tasktop Customer Success team met in Las Vegas ahead of DevOps Enterprise Summit 2018 for our annual face-to-face. During the meeting I had the opportunity to present Tasktop’s own journey into Value Stream Management and the Flow Framework™. There were some great discussions around gathering data and measuring both flow time and lead...
To learn more about what works and what doesn’t in large-scale DevOps and agile deployments, we need data. The problem is, that data is notoriously difficult to get ahold of because much of it lies hidden across numerous private repositories. Efforts such as The State of DevOps reports have helped us gain some understanding by...
Most enterprises do not yet think of their delivery pipeline as a product. When I mentioned this concept to a few folks, they literally slapped themselves on the head and said something like “that makes so much sense and it so simple, why didn’t we think of that!” – Carmen DeArdo, Tasktop It’s been a...
A new release of Tasktop Integration Hub is available today. Version 18.4 includes new prebuilt integration patterns for faster integration, point-and-click configuration of code traceability use cases for Git-based repositories, and support for Trello, a project management and collaboration tool from Atlassian. 18.4 also includes features that further minimize repository load when Tasktop scans for...
In his opening remarks to the Las Vegas iteration of DevOps Enterprise Summit 2018, Gene Kim set the tone for Day One by providing an alternative definition of DevOps via Jonathan Smart (formerly of Barclays): “Better Value Faster, Safer, Happier.” At the London show in June, Jonathan expanded on that by extolling the pressing need...
Any discussion of how to scale the benefits of DevOps invariably lands on tools. The planning, tracking, automation, and management tools we use define the “ground truth” of where and how work happens. One of the most interesting, and at times challenging, aspects of agile and DevOps transformations is the sheer volume of tools involved....
Gene Kim, one of the authors of The DevOps Handbook, once told me that organizations that require a developer to take 10 people out to lunch to get an API change done appear to have lower IT performance. We hypothesized that an overly high “lunch factor” would impede DevOps transformations, and added some questions on...
I recently visited the BMW Group’s Leipzig plant. My goal was to brainstorm with BMW Group IT leaders on how we could seamlessly integrate production lines with the software lifecycle. I was also interested in learning more about how BMW approaches car production as I was in the midst of defining the Flow Framework™ for...
