Value stream management helps businesses plan, organize, and optimize their activities to create the most value for their customers. In this course, technology strategist Peter Maddison guides you through value stream management in the context of DevOps. Learn how lean, agile, DevOps, and ITSM principles contribute to value stream management. Find out how to identify value streams and how they interconnect. Explore using mapping techniques to show value streams visually, and how models and methods, like Cynefin and Theory of Constraints, can be used to help you determine how and where to improve.
