VALUE STREAM MANAGEMENT<\/h1>\n

A New Way to Deliver Value<\/h2>\n

\n Value Stream Management (VSM) is a new discipline in software delivery\n that impartially measures and optimizes the flow of business value through\n complex end-to-end processes. This VSM guide explains how VSM helps every\n single contributor, across a multitude of specialized roles, achieve\n better outcomes.\n <\/p>\n

\n VSM collects and analyzes data from all the essential and specialized\n disciplines involved in bringing digital products to market\u2014through the\n Ideate, Create, Release and Operate phases\u2014and makes them better.\n Explore the interactive guide below to learn how.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

1. Ideate<\/h3>\n <\/span\n >Close modal<\/span><\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n
\n \"logo\"\n\n

\n Ideate involves collecting, analyzing, curating and shaping the ideas\n to implement in a product. Ideas come directly from customers or from\n employees who deeply understand the customer needs and the market and\n operating environment.\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

4. Operate<\/h3>\n <\/span\n >Close modal<\/span><\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n
\n \"logo\"\n\n

\n Operating involves supporting users as they use and interact with your\n products and services, as well as proactively monitoring product\n health and managing incidents or outages when they occur.\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

3. Release<\/h3>\n <\/span\n >Close modal<\/span><\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n
\n \"logo\"\n\n

\n Release makes new capabilities available to customers in a production\n environment. It\u2019s a process that includes management, planning,\n scheduling, and controlling an entire software build through every\n stage and environment involved.\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

2. Create<\/h3>\n <\/span\n >Close modal<\/span><\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n
\n \"logo\"\n\n

\n Implementing an idea turns it into tangible functionality that\n customers can experience through products. This stage includes the\n actual coding, building and testing of these capabilities.\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n How many units of value flow through the value stream and reach the\n customer? How fast are they delivered? The goal of practicing value\n stream management in software delivery is to increase the rate of\n value delivery. Similar to live traffic apps, you should be able to\n visualize and analyze the flow of value as it traverses the value\n stream network of tools and practitioners.\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Customer<\/h3>\n <\/span\n >Close modal<\/span><\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n
\n \"logo\"\n\n

\n A value stream is the sequence of activities an organization\n undertakes to deliver on a customer need. The value flowing through\n the stream is something customers are willing to pay for in time or\n money. Customers may be external (customer-facing value streams) or\n internal (value-enabling value streams).\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

Optimize<\/h3>\n <\/span\n >Close modal<\/span><\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n By measuring the value stream, you can identify where flow slows down\n and proactively address those constraints. Then, you move on to the\n next bottleneck, and so on and so forth. Visualization is the most\n powerful way to make those conversations and needs concrete. If you\n can present live value streams in a visual form, teams can rally\n around the dashboards and problem-solve together.\n <\/p>\n Learn about this stage<\/a\n >\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n
