Understanding VSM: The Backbone of Value-Driven Software Delivery
According to an Analyst at QKS Group, Value Stream Management serves as a critical engine for modern software delivery:
“Value Stream Management (VSM) is a process designed to streamline the procedures involved in envisioning, accomplishing, and delivering software to users. It focuses on improving quality, accelerating delivery, and increasing revenue. VSM encompasses the complete software delivery lifecycle (SDLC) and ensures an efficient workflow by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and unnecessary activities throughout the software delivery process. The result is improved productivity, reduced lead times, and enhanced customer satisfaction. VSM ensures end-to-end visibility, fosters cross-functional collaboration, and integrates real-time monitoring and feedback loops to enhance productivity, accelerate delivery, and improve quality. The goal is to deliver maximum value to customers, resulting in increased revenue and higher customer satisfaction.”
