Value Stream Management (VSM) was introduced to the organization in late 2020, leading to insights and lessons that refined their approach.
The evolution to VSM 1.5 involved a logical approach to redefining Value Streams, aligning teams, focusing on metrics, and documenting outcomes in Jira.
The integration of Product Operating Model (POM) principles alongside VSM led to the foundation for operational maturity and continuous improvement.
POM and VSM, though different on the surface, share a common spirit and offer a holistic view when combined.
Research shows elite-performing organizations prioritize business outcomes over output metrics and are embracing outcome-driven practices and flow efficiency.
VSM 1.5 evolved into a model harmonizing Product Operating Model's clarity with Value Stream Management's operational discipline.
There is recognition of areas for further evolution and improvement in the journey towards outcome-driven, operationally efficient operations.
The real transformation lies in intentionally combining both Product Operating Model and Value Stream Management for better business outcomes.
The focus is on achieving lasting, meaningful change through the alignment of structure, flow, and outcomes in the operating model.
The future of software delivery involves harmonizing process and structure to deliver improved, faster, and smarter results.
