Avolution Abacus, SparxEA and Orbus iServer are great tools for wider business and technology modelling...including VSM.

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

@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.

- 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...

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&.....

Hands-On Value Stream Mapping using Comedy
A short, practical demonstration of how to create a value stream map. I will use nothing more than my bare hands, post-it notes, some paper and a pen to demo...

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

DevOps Value Stream Mapping – A Box Score Based Approach
Digital Transformation is driving evolution of new business models. With rapid expansion of technology landscape, enterprises are reinventing their business strategy, realigning their existing processes and redefining delivery of customer value.

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

DevOps Institute

@lbmkrishna awesome to hear this!

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

What’s the difference between Value Stream Management and Value Stream Mapping? - Tasktop Blog
The latest hottest trend in enterprise software delivery is Value Stream Management (VSM). But wait, isn't VSM an acronym for Value Stream Mapping?

What are your newly discovered best practices while seeing your whole team or organization in a remote work setup? #UpskillingVSM

Thanks for asking, what do you think #DevOps community?

- The best practices evolve from the team. I guess the best practice for me may not suite your work environment or the constraint that you operate on. Do you agree?

I would say arrange for a team chat twice a week to remain connected. Need not talk about work just stuff in general. The emotional connection is important for work/personal.

Romnick Acabado

Let me know your thoughts - so far, we were discussing about recommended platforms, kanban and having your office setup. :)

Biswajit Mohapatra

Drive business agility by using Devops value stream management platforms

Paul Colmer #DevOps 🎸☁️🛰️🚀🇦🇺

I think it's very important to have a daily sync call with your team...#TheDigitalCoach

Do you have any tips for people around the world now joining the remote workforce?

Know your purpose and whys, be optimistic, have proper time management, stress management, self-control, self-care and healthy habits (exercise, get plenty of sleep, meditation, positive vibes from support groups, family and friends) :)

Marc Hornbeek, DevOps_the_Gray esq.

/ dont forget to take time to eat healthy, exercise and contact your social network to avoid burn-out

I find that many people around me are trying to do the same thing in a different way. I think we need to apply new thinking, new abilities and new approach. Do different things differently.

Know when to call it a day and stop.

using a big screen helps me feel that people on zoom or TEAMS are closer.

Paul Colmer #DevOps 🎸☁️🛰️🚀🇦🇺

If DevOps was a movie, what would it be and why?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

Marc Hornbeek, DevOps_the_Gray esq.

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)

Paul Colmer #DevOps 🎸☁️🛰️🚀🇦🇺

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

Romnick Acabado

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

Paul Colmer #DevOps 🎸☁️🛰️🚀🇦🇺

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

Aj Ajantha Godahewa

I would say a post-apocalyptic movie

Biswajit Mohapatra

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