A new way to deliver value

Value Stream Management (VSM) is a new discipline in software delivery that impartially measures and optimizes the flow of business value through complex end-to-end processes. This guide explains how VSM helps every single contributor, across a multitude of specialized roles, achieve better outcomes.

VSM collects and analyzes data from all the essential and specialized disciplines involved in bringing digital products to market—through the Ideate, Create, Release and Operate phases—and makes them better. Explore the interactive guide below to learn how.
