Finding areas for improvement
Once the current state of the development value streams has been identified, the mapping team can look for areas for improvement and create a future-state development value stream. One other thing they’ll create is an improvement plan to reach that future state.
To reach that future state, the mapping team will need to apply metrics to the current-state development value stream. These metrics will be taken at each step and then integrated into the metrics that evaluate the entire development Value Stream.
The complete picture of the current development value stream and the future-state development value stream is kept together in a DevOps transformation canvas. This canvas puts the work of the entire workshop in one place, allowing us to see where we are and where we want to go.
Let’s start looking at our future state by examining the current state metrics for our development value stream steps.
