The concept of value stream management (VSM) traces its lineage back to lean manufacturing methods, which called for each step of a manufacturing process to be continuously measured.
As software development is now automated as much as possible using DevOps best practices, interest is growing in monitoring things that have an impact on the business, such as missed software development deadlines.
VSM provides a framework for consistently collecting the data required to make more informed decisions to optimize the flow of software development.
