This post presents the four key metrics to measure software delivery performance.
In this insightful paper, Steve Pereira and Andrew Davis explore the power of flow engineering in helping organizations achieve clarity and deliver software faster. Through the fictional story of Sharon, a VP of Engineering, the authors illustrate how collaborative mapping techniques can be used to create a shared understanding, identify constraints, and align efforts across teams.
Key takeaways from the paper include:
1. Outcome mapping: A tool to clarify goals, obstacles, required investigations, and measures of progress. 2. Value stream mapping: A method to discover waste and friction in the flow of work and isolate high-impact improvements. 3. Dependency mapping: A technique to understand how constraints are linked to other parts of the organization and foster collaboration.
By leveraging these mapping practices, organizations can build shared clarity, focus their efforts on high-value activities, and dramatically improve the end-to-end software delivery process. The paper emphasizes the importance of collective flow in enabling personal flow and increasing employee engagement.
Whether you’re a leader looking to drive digital transformation or a developer seeking to optimize your workflow, this paper offers valuable insights and practical techniques for achieving faster, more efficient software delivery through the power of flow engineering.
