Wikipedia Definition: <strong>Value</strong>stream mapping is a leanmanagement method<br />
for analyzing the current state and designing a future state for the series of<br />
events that take a product or service from its beginning through to the<br />
customer.<br />
How do I go about implementing a simple* <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Stream</strong> <strong>Mapping</strong> for <strong>DevOps</strong>?<br />
1. Select the Product e.g. CRM application<br />
2. Select the Delivery Process of Interest e.g. Build a test environment<br />
3. Gather the SMEs, as VSM is a team event.<br />
4. Visually Map Current State (material flow / operational steps)<br />
5. Identify Non<strong>Value</strong> between steps<br />
6. Add a timeline for both Operations (green line above) + Non<strong>Value</strong> (red line above)<br />
7. Review <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Stream</strong><br />
8. Design Future State (Optimize)<br />
9. Return to (3).<br />
Tip: When getting started, steps 4 to 8 may initially be completed on whiteboards<br />
and simply use guesswork (in place of real data). However, for ongoing<br />
improvements, consider using tools that allow you to model your <strong>DevOps</strong> processes,<br />
track the operations and report on stream actuals. As an ex<strong>amp</strong>le, you could use the<br />
“Visual Runsheets Manager” functionality inside the Enov8 platform.
