Whilst Agile and DevOps have helped organizations to transform their software delivery processes, Value Streaming created the missing link to connect software delivery with business value. Yet, for Value Streaming to be truly effective, IT and business leaders must be aware of the challenges that need to be overcome. 

In this episode of Day-to-Day DevOps, Helen Beal and guests will discuss the importance of Value Streaming in 2022, and the factors that DevOps teams must consider before adopting this strategy - including humans, processes, and technologies.

Join us to hear:
- The origins of Value Stream Management and key concepts such as flow, value, and delivery
- The key concepts within Value Stream Management such as Value Stream Mapping, and Value Stream Management
- Why VSM is needed and the business benefits of its practice for DevOps teams.
- How Lean, Agile, DevOps, and ITSM principles contribute to value stream management
- Where Value Streams start and end, and how they interconnect
- What are good Value Stream Management practices?

How DevOps and Value Stream Management can Help You Realize True Business Value

While IT Service Management may be a key enabler of digital transformation and modernising efforts, it is not immune to the growing pains that a rapidly scaling organisation can be subject to. Spiralling user numbers and increasingly complex processes are only some of the challenges getting in the way of delivering quality service across your organisation. Automation is certainly one solution to streamlining processes and improving productivity but it's not always the right solution - there are other ways.

In this talk, Richard and Phill will take you on an agile and iterative journey across people, processes and tools - examining how you can maintain delivering high-quality service even as you scale. They'll pay close attention to the ITSM specific challenges some of our biggest and most complex clients have faced, and provide the solutions that took their service desk solutions to the next level.

Delivering a quality service to the enterprise

Are you looking to implement DevOps, unlock the potential of the cloud, or scale adoption across your organisation?  We discuss the best cloud-first DevOps approaches to make sure your processes are consistent and repeatable.  DevOps is centered around the continuous improvement of software, moving away from rigid methodologies. But this agile mindset needs to apply to the people, processes, and tools that make it happen too. As organisations change and infrastructure and support needs increase, those changes put a strain on compute, storage, network, and software, and the teams that support them.

How to build a cloud-first DevOps approach

Increasing collaboration between teams to create customer value is now essential to doing business in the modern enterprise. But while understanding and reimagining how value is created through streams (rather than functional processes) becomes ever more important, realizing the value stream and creating value for stakeholders while carrying on with business as usual is challenging.

Watch Adaptavist's Matt Saunders - Head of DevOps, John Turley - Digital Transformation Consultant and Plandek's COO, Will Lytle, as they discuss unseen challenges that mean value stream mapping often fails to deliver results in the real world, and share some of the leading-edge thinking and practices they use to overcome them.

Unlocking real-world outcomes with value stream mapping

IT has never been under more pressure to modernize and transform. In the race to outpace competitors and deliver customers best-in-class digital experiences, applications can make or break a business’ chance of success. In episode 23 of Day-to-Day DevOps, Helen Beal and guest are looking at why DevOps may be the silver bullet in helping businesses to modernize their applications and remain competitive. 

Join us to learn:

What a DevOps approach to legacy system modernization looks like
Insights into how DevOps can minimize technical debt by modernizing core applications to be agile and competitive 
Common challenges DevOps teams face when working on both mainframe and open-systems - and how to overcome them
And more

Modernizing Applications with DevOps

Join Peter Daugavietis as he discusses what makes DevOps successful.

Learn how the right concepts = DevOps Success
So we all know and love DevOps, right? But how can we make it more successful? In this webinar we will dive into the foggy world of what makes DevOps tick - DevOps being a combination of people, process and tools, which in turn form your organisational culture.

We explore cultural practices and how practice makes perfect! Then we'll finish off with some information about teams and interactions. This webinar will also give definition to those more ethereal concepts behind DevOps practices, helping ensure your initiatives add value to the business and drive meaningful change.

In this event we cover:

- What is DevOps?: Learn what DevOps is and how creating a DevOps environment within your company can optimise the way you work and your business output.
- DevOps as a Culture: How can creating the right culture ultimately lead to successful DevOps?
- Teams and Interactions: How can we make sure we are working together as a team to create a common goal?

In this event we cover:

- Why monitoring your progress and visualising your value stream is key to development success.
- How VSM in CI/CD allows teams to identify bottlenecks, manage errors and bugs, spot opportunities for using automation, and get faster feedback.
- An overview of GitLab’s Value Stream Analytics tool and how it enables organisations to have insight and identify the root cause of slowdowns in the SDLC.

DevOps Value Stream Management with GitLab

According to McKinsey, 45% of the activities individuals are paid to perform can be automated by adapting currently demonstrated technologies. So how do you maximise value across your people, processes and products with service management systems? This practical webinar will discuss how to shift from ITSM to ESM, and the benefits it can bring across an organisation to help meet your digital transformation goals including prioritizing workloads based on business needs, using automation to be more efficient, and introducing more collaborative working through new processes.
