Following on from April 2018’s Forrester report that concluded the “time is now” for Value Stream Management<\/a>, a new report – The Forrester New Wave™: Value Stream Management Tools, Q3 2018 <\/em>by Christopher Condo and Bill Segui<\/em>n – <\/em>looks into the capabilities and strategies of 13 of the most significant vendors in the Value Stream Management<\/a> (VSM) market, including Tasktop and 7 of our partners.<\/p>\n

“VSM is an emerging tool category that connects an organization’s business to its software delivery capability. VSM tools provide multiple roles — product managers, developers, QA, and release managers — a view into planning, health indicators, and analytics, helping them collaborate more effectively to reduce waste and focus on work that delivers value to the customer and the business.” – The Forrester New Wave™: Value Stream Management Tools, <\/em>Forrester Research, Inc., August 6, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

We believe that the report acknowledges that all vendors share elements of Forrester’s vision for VSM:<\/p>\n

“To unify end-to-end visibility of software development; unify the capture of data, events, and artifacts within the process; define and visualize key performance indicators (KPIs) that are meaningful to the business; govern the processes with reusable templates; and provide an inclusive customer experience (CX) that allows multiple roles to collaborate and deliver more value than they would working on siloed teams.” – The Forrester New Wave™: Value Stream Management Tools, <\/em>Forrester Research, Inc., August 6, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

With software delivery becoming a major priority for organizations, tool vendors are responding to market demand from customers for better transparency into their software delivery process. As a company that has been expounding the need for a complete end-to-end view of how work and value flows across the software delivery value stream, Forrester’s assessment is music to our ears.<\/p>\n

The methodology behind The Forrester New Wave<\/strong>™<\/p>\n

The Forrester New Wave™ differs from the traditional Forrester Wave™ in that it only evaluates emerging technologies, basing its analysis on a 10-criteria survey – analytics, common data model, governance, integration, mapping, value measurement, visualization, vision, road map and market approach – and a 2-hour briefing with each vendor.<\/p>\n

The analysis groups the 10-criteria into current offering and strategy, as well as market presence. Each vendor has:<\/p>\n
