If they had, perhaps they would have been able to make decisions more proactively and wouldn\u2019t have had to scramble to convert their workforce to remote, digitize all their experiences, and deal with an economic downturn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, the country is in another period of uncertainty. You\u2019ve read the headlines all year: The Great Resignation, layoffs, a possible recession, Elon Musk\u2019s takeover of Twitter shaking up marketing spending, introductions of things like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT having workers worrying about their future job security, and more. The list could go on and on, but one thing that would help people through these times is knowing they\u2019ll make it out okay on the other end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately that level of predictability isn\u2019t always possible in the real world, but in the business world, value stream management can help you with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Lance Knight, president and COO of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.connectall.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ConnectALL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the information you can get from value stream management can help you with predictability. This includes things like understanding how information flows and how you get work done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou can&#8217;t really be predictable until you understand how things are getting done,\u201d said Knight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Lance Knight, ConnectALL - SD Times Market Forecast on Value Stream Management\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o_V97uqMwQQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also claimed that predictability is a more important outcome of value stream management than the actual delivery of value, simply because of the fact that \u201cyou can&#8217;t deliver value unless you have a predictable system.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Derek Holt, general manager of Intelligent DevOps at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/digital.ai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital.ai<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, agreed, adding \u201cIf we can democratize the data internally, we can not only get a better view, but we can start to use things like machine learning to predict the future. Like, how do we not just show flow metrics, but how do we find areas for flow acceleration? Not just what are our quality metrics, but how do we drive quality improvement? A big one we&#8217;re seeing right now is predicting risk and changing risk. How do you predict that before it happens?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knight also said that a value stream is only as effective as the information that you feed into it, so you really need to amplify feedback loops, remove non-value-added activities and add automation. Then once your value stream is optimized, you can realize the benefit of predictability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve already been working with value streams for a while then it may be time to make sure all those pieces are running smoothly and look for areas where there is waste that can be removed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knight also explained the importance of embracing the \u201cholistic part\u201d in value stream management. What he means by this is not just thinking about metrics, but thinking about how you can train people to understand Lean principles so that they can understand how the way they develop software will meet their digital transformation needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Challenges companies face\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, all that is easier said than done. There are still challenges that companies face after adopting value stream management to actually get to the maturity level where they gain that predictability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One issue is that there is confusion in the market caused by vendors about what value stream management actually is. \u201cSome people think value stream management is the automation of your DevOps pipeline. Some people think value stream management is the metrics that I get. And there&#8217;s confusion between value management and value stream management,\u201d said Knight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knight wants us to remember that value stream management isn\u2019t anything new; It can trace its origins back to Lean Manufacturing created by Toyota in the 1950s in Japan.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And ultimately, value is just the delivery of goods and services. Putting any other definition on it is just the industry being confused, Knight believes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo people who are trying to implement value streams are getting mixed messages, and that&#8217;s the number one challenge with value stream management,\u201d said Knight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital.ai\u2019s Holt explained that another challenge, especially for those just getting started, is getting overwhelmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDon&#8217;t be paralyzed by how big it seems,\u201d said Holt. He recommends companies have early conversations acknowledging that they might get things wrong, and just get started.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Derek Holt, Digital.ai - SD Times Market Forecast on Value Stream Management\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fb3Swzkgf6k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><b>Where has value stream been? Where is it headed?\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our last <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/valuestream\/value-stream-management-the-practice-that-finally-unites-business-and-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on value stream management, the theme was that it aligns business and IT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holt has seen in the past year that companies are adopting mentalities that are less about that alignment. Now the focus is that software is the business and the business is software.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this new mentality, metrics have become crucial, so it\u2019s important to have a value stream management system in place that actually enables you to track certain metrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThings like OKRs continued to kind of explode as a simple means to drive better outcome-based alignment \u2026 simple KPIs around objective-based development efforts or outcome-based development efforts,\u201d said Holt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holt also noted that in Digital.ai\u2019s recently published 16th annual <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofagile.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State of Agile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report, around 40% of respondents had adopted one of these approaches, and that was significantly up from the previous year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He went on to explain that companies investing in value stream management want to be sure that their investments are actually paying off, especially in the current economic climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also said value streams can help organizations make small, evolutionary improvements, rather than one big revolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cValue stream management is building on some of the core transformations that happened before,\u201d said Holt. \u201cWiithout the Agile transformation, there would have been no DevOps, and without Agile and DevOps, there probably wouldn&#8217;t be an ability to talk about value stream management.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So value stream management will continue to build on the successes of the past, while also layering in new trends like low code, explained Holt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What sets successful value stream management practices apart<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris Condo, principal analyst at Forrester, last month wrote a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forrester.com\/blogs\/vsm-enables-all-teams-to-become-elite\/?ref_search=3147771_1670954304473https:\/\/www.forrester.com\/blogs\/vsm-enables-all-teams-to-become-elite\/?ref_search=3147771_1670954304473\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where he laid out the three qualities that set successful value stream management practitioners apart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use of AI\/ML to predict end dates.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> According to Condo, development teams with access to predictive capabilities are able to use them to create timelines that are more likely to be met. He noted that the successful teams don\u2019t replace estimates produced by people on their team, but rather augment those estimates with machine estimation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bottleneck analysis. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams can use value stream management to discover what the real cause of their bottlenecks is. \u201cWhen it comes to VSM, too many clients put the cart before the horse, thinking that they need a high-performing DevOps culture and tool chain to effectively use VSM. None of this could be further from the truth,\u201d said Condo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strong metrics and KPIs.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Development leaders want these metrics if they are going to be putting money into value stream management, so look for vendors that can provide excellent metrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2019, most business leaders probably wouldn\u2019t have predicted the changes that would be coming their way in early 2020 thanks to a global pandemic.
