Value stream management software helps teams document, analyze, and manage the measurable value of their DevOps projects and processes. These tools provide companies with a complete, top-down understanding of the factors contributing to the measurable value of their projects and processes. DevOps teams utilize value stream management software to verify product or service development meets the company’s standards to maximize return on investment.
Similar to requirements management software, value stream management also connects development teams with relevant stakeholders and other interested parties to create an avenue of communication for DevOps process proposals that reduce waste and add value. Value stream management software facilitates an organized, value-driven approach to creating and implementing new products or services and fits in well alongside other development and application lifecycle management tools.
To qualify for inclusion in the Value Stream Management category, a product must:
Integrate with CI/CD pipelines to measure and analyze value
Generate reports on value metrics such as ROI
Provide actionable insight to optimize DevOps processes
