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.

Tasktop Partner Day 2018 – A Community Coming Together Around Value Stream Management

The speakers at Tasktop Partner Day 2018 were very informative, and their message was thought provoking. It was very refreshing to hear a message that was focused almost entirely upon client business results (value, cost, quality and happiness) – Henry Potts, Director, Business Development, Melillo Consulting Last week Tasktop ran its first ever Tasktop Partner Day...

To Transform to Have Agility, Don’t Do a Capital A, Capital T Agile Transformation

The concept of “flow” is a common thread in DevOps. Fin Goulding and Hayden Shaughnessy do a great job summarizing the concept of flow and how it relates to digital transformation in their book Flow: A Handbook for Change-Makers, Mavericks, Innovation Activists and Leaders: Digital Transformation Simplified. In a previous article, “Modular Architectures Make You...

Project To Product: From Stories To Scenius

This blog was originally posted on the IT Revolution blog on November 19, 2018. We learn through stories—either through our own or through those passed on by others that we admire. When I first read The Phoenix Project, I was amazed at how much technological wisdom could be passed on in story form. That story, perhaps more than any...

Social Mission of Project to Product

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...

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...

Project to Product: Mining the Ground Truth of Enterprise Toolchains

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...

Reflections from DevOps Enterprise Summit 2018 with Carmen DeArdo

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...
