{virtual} VSM DevCon returns in March

What is value stream management? Why do I need to do it? How do I get started?

Questions like these and more will be answered at the second {virtual} VSM DevCon, taking place on March 10 in a fast-paced, one-day educational format.

Value stream management enables organizations to find the areas of inefficiency, bottlenecks and actions that don’t deliver value to customers and the organization. It has been called the crown atop DevOps that finally brings IT and the business together.

According to a February 2020 Forrester report, “Value stream management takes over where application lifecycle management leaves off.” The report states: “Practicing value stream management (VSM) allows companies to turn their Agile-plus-DevOps environments into real digital business drivers. With VSM, organizations implementing Agile-plus-DevOps will better understand the value they deliver and the efficiencies they gain.”

General keynote talks by Dave West of Scrum.org (“Value Stream Management and Scrum — Friends or Enemies?”) and David Messinger of Topcoder (“Modern VSM in the Gig Economy”) highlight the event. Lance Knight, COO of ConnectALL, will deliver the industry keynote (“Value Trumps Flow.”).

VSM DevCon this year will also feature a workshop from value stream consultant Steve Pereira (“The 4×4 Method of Value Stream Traction”) in which he will show the four key maps an organization should implement to get the most uptake around value stream management.

Along with the sessions, {virtual} VSM DevCon will provide attendees with access to some of value stream solution providers, to learn about the tools available on the market to begin or enhance your value stream journey.

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
