Maximizing Value Stream Efficiency: The 3 Pillars of Empiricism Explained | Stephen Walters
Keynote at The DEVOPS Conference - Global 2023: INSPECTING THE FLOW OF VALUE STREAMS
The 3 Pillars of Empiricism are Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation.
This means working in a fact-based, experience-based, and evidence-based manner as defined by the DevOps Institute.
When inspecting the performance of delivery in your value streams, are you looking at the results subjectively or objectively? Is it based on feelings or facts?
This presentation will define the measures we should inspect, how we should inspect and when is the best opportunity to do so, demonstrated using examples from GitLab.
In this keynote recording we learn:
- What are the typical measures for the flow of value?
- How to inspect value?
- When is the optimal opportunity to inspect?’
