In this episode, we talk with Helen Beal about Value Stream Management, a practice for gathering insights on workstreams from ideas to value realization.

A decades-old physical goods manufacturing concept is being applied to modern dev teams with great results. What can software development learn from the past?Value Stream Management (VSM) has been a focus of business and manufacturing for years but big tech has only recently taken notice. Steve Pereira, a.k.a. "The VSM Guy", joins us to talk about what engineering leaders can learn from VSM, its impact on individual and team workflow, how it differs from Agile and DevOps, and why its emphasis on the creation and delivery of value represents an opportunity for dev teams everywhere.

Derek Huether is back for this episode and we're focusing on Value Stream Management. Value Stream Mapping is about understanding all the steps from the inception of an idea to putting something valuable in a customer's hands, and using that information to optimize the flow of value through the system. But, within a business, you will have many value streams and we need to understand how best to coordinate those streams to optimize the overall value generated by the company across multiple value streams. If your brain is wired for traditional project management, you could think of this as creating a system that optimizes a portfolio management level view of all the value streams in the org. During the interview, Derek and I explore why Value Stream Management is so important, how it works, the connection to Value Stream Mapping, and how you can get started with it.

He's always looking for ways to bring business and technology together by facilitating visual collaboration. What You'll Learn The strengths and weaknesses of org charts and the value streamActivating intrinsic motivators in workers within an organizationHow to optimize around the right thingsBalancing informal networks and formal structure Quotes “I think we can borrow a lot of power and alignment by leveraging something like a value stream model and looking at more horizontal organizational models. You don't have to throw away the org chart, but add this layer of flow across it and understand that the org chart isn't how work happens, the value stream is how work happens.” -Steve [12:19]“The org chart is very useful in having people understand who to go to, to get help and to improve their individual performance. I think that having a clear leader and an escalation path helps individuals feel like they have someone to go to. They have a very clear definition of relationships that they need to develop, foster and maintain.” -Steve [22:48]“The most common map that I see on a day to day basis is the org chart. This hierarchical structure that shows basically how people fit together and what role they are playing in the organization. It is a visualization of an invisible social network. There is agreed upon structure, but fundamentally those interpersonal relationships and obligations are invisible. We are mapping an invisible social structure to try and give form to something that is fundamentally invisible.” -Andrew [04:12]“The terminal units of an organization are people and each of those people need nutrients to survive. They need to get paid, they need to have clarity about what they are doing and how they can get their work done. They need to have a basis to be inspired by the mission of what their role is in the organization. It needs to be something that activates intrinsic motivators.” -Andrew [18:12] Timestamps [00:03] Intro [01:07] How work actually happens [03:28] Is the org chart outdated?  [06:16] Making decisions based off of power [08:23] How the org chart shapes company goals [11:34] Retaining customer outcomes [15:28] Optimizing around the right things [18:27] Activating intrinsic motivators [20:10] Shared platforms [21:36] Strengths and weaknesses of org charts [26:26] The Organism vs. The City Model [29:11] The resiliency of autonomy and decentralization  [30:22] Informal and formal social networks [31:27] Outro

Summary In this episode of The Value Stream Show, hosts Andrew Davis and Steve Pereira talk about value stream management and the process of improving the end-to-end flow of work in an organization. They discuss the complexity of value stream management and how it can expand the scope of a business or technology to see the big picture, while also addressing concerns in the short term. As the IT world matures, value stream management allows for successful optimization by exposing the work process and its inefficiencies. Andrew and Steve also distinguish the differences between knowledge work and manufacturing it.

What You'll Learn Understanding the work process within value stream managementValue stream thinking in the physical world and virtual worldThe pursuit of optimization during challenging timesAdaptive knowledge work Quotes “What is really important about value stream management is this concept of looking at the work holistically. Looking at the end-to-end flow of work in an organization in such a way that you are focused on improving that flow of work, not just looking at it and measuring it. You are doing that to improve the system.” -Steve [02:07]“There is a giant section of the world that is physical and virtual at the same time: building software, building physical products, and integrating those two things. That is an area of the world that is underserved by our focus on the old world and the new world. They are run by different ways of thinking but more and more we are seeing these models blend together.” -Steve [09:35]“Unless you lower the water level in the stream you won't notice all the big boulders in the stream. What we are doing with value stream management partly is lowering the water level and starting to look at the actual work process. You can begin to see you have these incredible inefficiencies that are embedded in the whole work process.” -Andrew [15:55]“If you are working for the man, that isn't giving you that thrill of autonomy or that intrinsic motivator. But mastery, whether that craft is managing finance for the organization, building software, or setting up systems. That is your craft. Every job is worthy of respect and it is providing value to something.” -Andrew [27:30] Timestamps [01:03] Intro [01:27] Defining value stream management [09:16] What the value stream looks like in the physical and virtual world [16:34] Knowledge work adaptations [23:05] Software tools vs. the mindset approach to value stream management [27:33] Intrinsic motivators [34:09] Managing time and effort [36:42] Continuous experimentation in organizations Resources Inside Out: The Power of Value Stream Clarity

Summary In this episode of The Value Stream Show, hosts Andrew Davis and Steve Pereira discuss what value stream mapping is and its function. They talk about the act of drawing out a value stream and how it helps with visualization, generates necessary conversations, and brings clarity to the work process. They share their personal experiences with the practice of value stream mapping, and how it can bring visibility to performance, and generate movement toward improving collective consciousness.  Host Bios Andrew Davis is a DevOps and Salesforce specialist and author of the book Mastering Salesforce DevOps.

What You'll Learn Using value stream mapping as a tool for clarity and communicationTime and MotionHow the process of mapping generates necessary conversationMoving from an unmapped space to a mapped space to create collective consciousness   Quotes “Value stream mapping is a technique for visualizing and measuring a value stream in an on demand way. The act of mapping a value stream is drawing out the activities that occur across a value stream. Traditionally it goes from raw materials or suppliers to customers.” -Steve [01:40]“Value stream mapping gives you the opportunity to step out of your current state and look at what you can actually do to achieve a higher level of performance. I've never seen a method that is as effective as value stream mapping for the purpose of stepping back and looking at what is happening, so we can break out of the status quo and get ourselves to a future state of higher performance.” -Steve [22:46]“Everything that we are working on is invisible. Value stream mapping is the activity of moving from an unmapped space to a mapped space, a space that is invisible until you take the time to record what is going on. It is a kind of reflection, of looking back and contemplating what is this process and how are we working together to move what is unconscious to being collectively conscious.” -Andrew [11:27]“When we talk about “knowledge work”, value stream mapping is a very powerful and focused kind of knowledge work. You bring a group of people together, pull their collective understanding and go see what is actually happening in the work space. You are generating new and valuable knowledge. You can take that knowledge and go back to making all these various process improvements.” -Andrew [20:35] Resources Inside Out: The Power of Value Stream ClarityBook: Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and CompaniesVuvuzelas!Bain B2B Elements of ValueBain B2C Elements of ValueTime and Motion studieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_and_motion_studyFrank and Lillian Gilbreth“A time and motion study (or time-motion study) is a business efficiency technique combining the Time Study work of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the Motion Study work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth (the same couple as is best known through the biographical 1950 film and book Cheaper by the Dozen). It is a major part of scientific management (Taylorism).”

Summary In this episode of The Value Stream Show, hosts Andrew Davis and Steve Pereira discuss the vast reach of value, how we define it and how we can measure it. They explore the complex nature of value and the many different factors that influence it. Steve and Andrew talk about the importance of distinguishing the difference between the value of inputs versus the value of the output that's produced. They also talk about how understanding value can create an opportunity for growth and the potential to reclaim past losses in an organization, a market, or as an individual.

What You'll Learn What is Value?The elements of valueBuilding individual, customer, and organization valueDistinguishing between input value and output value Quotes “Organizations are defined by value streams. The network of value streams that compose the organization and the outcomes those generate result from the activity of individual contributors. Individual contributors will default to working and moving in different directions unless they're aligned around the value stream.” -Steve [07:37] “We have different time horizons for our understanding of value. My experience of what is valuable immediately is usually to the detriment of what is valuable to me in the long term. This is the tension of time and visibility. It is an interesting dimension to consider in the context of value stream management.” -Steve [15:03] “Value at the end of the day is feeling. How an individual feels about something. But then of course we have to make decisions as a group. So how do we feel as a group about something? Or how does the market feel about something?” -Andrew [03:05] “There is a phenomenal amount of efficiency that can be reclaimed from company processes if we connect with employees' intrinsic motivations. If your employees are not feeling profoundly engaged with the company's mission to serve your customers for the greater good of the organization, they will consciously or subconsciously be dragging their feet and unmotivated.” -Andrew [13:22] Timestamps [00:27] Intro [00:57] What is value?

At the end of the year, planning and prioritization take center stage. We can only really prioritize work, needs, and dreams that are within our span of control. That does not stop people from trying to prioritize work that is not theirs to prioritize.  We also have a visit from Susan Parente who brings her I'm Not A Scrumdamentalist column to the cast.  This month we talk about getting leadership right. It is possible! Re-Read Saturday News  As 2021 comes to a close we bring our re-read of Project to Product to a close as well (buy a copy and dive into the book https://amzn.to/2WzvPac - Amazon Affiliate link).

Ben Wozniki and I talked about team topologies (the idea and the book). Ben and I have worked together, hosted a video podcast together, and more -- this was more of a conversation than an interview.  

This week we touch on a topic that is near and dear to my heart, work entry, with an essay titled Prioritization Without Control of Work Entry. I am tempted to suggest that without control over what you can say yes to, the whole idea of prioritization is a farce. The answer is more complicated, but only a little.  We also have a visit from Jeremy Berriault who brings his QA Corner to the cast. This week we discuss measuring testing -- it is more than just pass/fail. Re-Read Saturday News  Chapter 9 of Project to Product (buy a copy and re-read the book with us https://amzn.to/2WzvPac Amazon Affiliate Link) ties the three layers of the author's model together and exposes the third epiphany from his visit to the BMW plant that has been the central plot element of the book. The chapter puts all the parts together. But instead of relating how he connects the infrastructure, I want to focus on how important it is to generate an end-to-end view of work for any software-intensive product.

Steve Pereira is helping organizations do better by focusing on value streams. He is a Board Advisor at Value Stream Management Consortium and rumor has it that we can soon expect a book! I talked to Steve about Value Stream Management and Flow Engineering.Subscribe to 0800-DEVOPS newsletter here.Show notes:- This interview is featured in 0800-DEVOPS #31 - The Revolution in SDLC and Flow Engineering with Steve Pereira- Flow Engineering e-book- A collection of Value stream resources is at your fingertips here

Defining and effectively managing value streams can translate to satisfied customers and competitive advantage. But what is value stream management and how does it relate to SAFe? In this episode, Richard Knaster, SAFe Fellow and vice president and chief scientist at Digital AI, and Marc Rix continue their conversation about why value stream management is important, and how it can help organizations succeed in the digital age.

Defining and effectively managing value streams can translate to satisfied customers and competitive advantage. But what is value stream management and how does it relate to SAFe? In this episode, Richard Knaster, SAFe Fellow and vice president and chief scientist at Digital AI, and Marc Rix, SAFe Fellow and principal consultant at Scaled Agile explain what value stream management is, why it's important, and how it can help organizations succeed in the digital age.

Right now, most development teams provide visibility into their overall process and lifecycle through standup meetings and spreadsheets. It can be a painfully manual process that uses up valuable engineering time. Value stream management aims to solve that by mapping out the entire software development life cycle and providing visibility into areas where things are breaking down or getting stuck. It borrows ideas from Agile and the automate-all-the-things attitude from DevOps to ensure engineering teams are moving fast with direction, avoiding bottlenecks, and reaching the the key objectives management planned weeks ago.In this episode, we chat with Nick Mathison and Sylvan Carbonell from HCL Software DevOps about value stream management and how their product, HCL Accelerate, brings visibility into the entire gamut of the SDLC, from the request coming in from a customer to deploying code to the production servers. At the foundation of this process is a good map of the company's value stream. Think of it as bringing all your teams together to map out the entire workflow of your development cycle on a whiteboard, from receiving feature requests and bug reports, assigning out tickets, merging code, requesting code reviews, passing build tests, QA processes, and finally deploying to production. The value stream map brings that whiteboard to life. Once the process is mapped out and the data flows revealed, it is very easy to track where the work is at any given time and how fast it is flowing through the value stream. Every company has little idiosyncrasies that make their process unique: their specific slowdowns, time sinks, and manual approvals that grind development to a halt. Value stream management spots those and helps you eliminate them. In a value stream, you're no longer watching individual devs; your best metrics cover the “two-pizza team,” a team small enough to be fed by two pizzas. This team's interactions—working through epic tickets, code reviews, internal support, etc.—provides the best metrics to identify ways to increase the value that a team provides. With many technology companies working fully remotely during the pandemic, understanding each team's process is critical. HCL offers a way to accomplish this without bringing lengthy standups back in the picture.Start benefiting from value stream management today with the forever-free Community Edition of HCL Accelerate.

Guest Speaker: Tiffany JachjaDevOps adoption rates have quickly risen throughout organizations that own software services. For many of these organizations looking to scale their efforts beyond pilots and one-off initiatives, they often find themselves on the curve of diminishing returns. Value stream management is a lean business process that helps organization leaders track the value of their software efforts and resources. Using value stream management practices, you can optimize your flow of materials and information by lowering costs and improving value adds.

Join Helen Beal today as she covers...The origins of continuous delivery are in the agile manifesto where, in the first of twelve principles, it's stated that the highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Fast forward nearly twenty years to a world subsumed by DevOps, where continuous delivery is synonymous with pipeline technology and we have an emerging market around value stream management. In this podcast, we'll explore the relationship between all these pieces and see how they all fit together with the same ultimate goal: the improvement of organizational performance.Support the show (https://cd.foundation/podcast/podcast-submission-form/)
