Driving DevOps with Value Stream Management
By :

In this chapter, you learned how VSM tools support the Lean improvements across DevOps pipelines by providing real-time access to critical IT value stream data, dashboard-based visualizations, and metrics. VSM tools help DevOps team members and other stakeholders monitor and improve the flow of information and work across the IT value streams and focus on the customers.
You also learned about the three primary types of VSM tools – VSMP/VSM, VSDP, and CCA, and the capabilities they should provide. Next, we covered the kinds of implementation issues you can expect when promoting these tools in an organization. Then, you learned about numerous potential applications for VSM tools and platforms and the benefits that justify the investments.
The next chapter will introduce the current industry-leading tools. We explore each tool's strengths and discuss real-life use cases while highlighting their strengths for that particular scenario.
