UpskillingVSM

@DEVOVSM is a supervisory layer of a DevOps blueprint with capability to supports end-to-end orchestration, monitoring and governance over one or more CI/CD pipelines.PSINST

- the onething that I noticed, not everyone is aware of end-end processes, people involved and flow. It is important to get this visibility

Extremely helpful. Especially to identify the pain points.helps to increase the productivity.

A management approach that focuses on the end-to-end flow of customers, their challenges, and ideas (as input) to target business value (as output) through best practices and by the elimination of wasted time and resources. #UpskillingVSM

Visualization and Optimization of how "things" get done.

- IMHO there are people with different understanding within the same enterprise, organization. It is important to map-out the understanding and thats what we do

I have been using VS in operations and find it very helpful. But... it is a bit tricky to get good subscription. The data that can be collected is amazing...

Don't forget to join our micro-conference this April 30 - SKIL Up Day

I think the first steps to managing a value stream...is to map it out with your teams and talk about how we can remove waste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwasYEJ07Xo&.....

example like how to request security certs for applications hosted, renewal from ticket to process to prod drop - is interesting area to explore :) #DevSecOps

@DigitalColmer Awesome!!!!

- VSM is creating the visibility, understanding, establish the context of flow

Please have a look here - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/devops-value-stream...

- The fact most of us know about the flow without knowing that is VSM. That is how I learned as well :)

@lbmkrishna awesome to hear this!

- Here is Dominca's great post on Management & Mapping https://www.tasktop.com/blog/whats-the-difference-...

@DEVOPSINST

I find easier to see bottlenecks and opportunity for improvements when I draw a VS. Management loves it as they can see what is happening.

It will be great to start with specific product that which is visible but with manageable risk. The benefits is that you will be able to build things right and build the right things. You will be able to improve the end to end flow from idea to business value realization.

Every industry and every business area can gain value from VSM. It allows you to understand the flow of information and value, and help your teams identify and talk about forms of waste....#TheDigitalCoach

VSM is all about continuous improvement and evolution as we introduce changes to our value delivery flow. The starting point is to assess the current state, find gaps, calculate gains and incrementally build upon.

I find the best way to show the value of VSM is with any onboarding activity, where there are so many activities, tools, data and people interconnected. Easy to loose track.

Define governance policies and use VSM to automate them

@DEVOPSINST - I am fan of Muda, Muri, Mura - example how many variations we have in our processes, how many forms to get the single thing done in your organizations - a good start

Camelot – the quest for the holy grail of continuous improvement requires collaborative efforts of people (knights of the round table), process (laws of Camelot) and technology (the sword Excalibur)

I think it depends on the organisation. In many cases it tends to be a horror movie...maybe the Texas Chainsaw Massacre...#TheDigitalCoach 😂

Avengers Endgame or maybe Whiplash - as we talk about antifragility and excellence. :)

It would be feel good move with a bit of war strategy, comedy and politics.

A-Team! I love it when a plan comes together!! A diverse team with different skillsets and value contribution with the same objective/goals

it is MIB, Avengers and also any colorful Bollywood dance as well

Another great movie analog is Days of Thunder...as Mario Andretti put it...if everything is under control, you're going too slow...#TheDigitalCoach 😂

@lbmkrishna Avengers for sure.... we are heros hehehe

I would say a post-apocalyptic movie

How about Transformers movie in the era of digital transformation and reinvention.

I've used Atlassian JIRA to create stories and features and measured how they flow through the development value stream. You can use cumulative flow diagrams to understand where you may need to optimise.

I have an DevOps Assessment sevice using a seven step alignment blueprint that leads organizations to focus on the specific waste that will best serve their business goals for the next leg in the journey of a specific organization.

You can also do the same with a physical Kanban, but it becomes very manual to measure.

KanBan is good anywhere.

This is a great article to follow for some great tips on using Kanban in the context of Agile: https://www.scaledagileframework.com/team-kanban/

@DigitalColmer i am fully in favourable for physical kanban. Ofcos it ends up as a lot manual work, but helps to visualise... Great way to start with..

Improved collaboration and painted the big picture.

I use Kanban as an implementation management tool while in the "realize" phase of the Seven Step Transformation process

I use Kanban to manage all the work for small, medium and large initiatives. The most important thing is to visualise ALL the work...including people development activities.

Every day take time to eat a healthy meal, exercise, and connect with your social network

Act of kindness everyday, positivity, know your purpose and whys, proper time management, stress management, self-control, self-care and healthy habits (exercise, get plenty of sleep, meditation, connect with your love ones

Encourage everyone to talk about how they feel...R u ok? #TheDigitalCoach

I Schedule time every day to do things that energises me, even if just 1 hr a day. I schedule time for short walks, sometimes I combine walking and reading with audible,

Establish several principles for your operational model. I would suggest Respect to be up there somewhere. Respect people and their time.

Meditation....🚀

I work much better if I am refreshed and focused.

I am also a strong believer of mindful meditation, there are many good videos on YouTube. I like Marisa Peer (I had to allow time to understand her style) and Steve Covey (I like his pragmatic style).
