The Why of Value Stream Management
If you’re like me and have been around the block in tech more than once, you’ve seen three-letter acronyms come and go. Sometimes the technology they refer to is a flash in the pan; other times it hangs around for a bit before being subsumed into the platforms we build upon.
And so it is with value stream management (VSM), which has grown in popularity in DevOps circles. The first question I tend to ask about this is, why? Is this some new innovation that needs a name, or has someone spotted a weakness in existing tools and methods?

Why Site Reliability Engineering Is Key to Modern DevOps Among the hottest areas of growth in DevOps is the emerging field of site reliability engineering as organizations look to bake reliability into the earliest stages of the software development cycle.
DevOps is all about integrating different skill sets, including development and operations, into a cohesive workflow.
An increasingly important element of the DevOps model is site reliability engineering (SRE). In a
session at the Interop Digital 2020 event last October, Jayne Groll, CEO of the DevOps Institute, said site reliability engineers are becoming more in demand for DevOps. Like most areas of technology, there is a lot of nuances to the practice of site reliability engineering, how it relates to the broader topic of DevOps and the best practices for success.
Questions to Ask About DevOps Strategy On-Prem vs. the Cloud
Not every company can or wants to go cloud native but that does not mean they are completely cut off from the advantages of DevOps.
Organizations with predominantly on-prem IT and data environments might feel left out from conversations about DevOps because such talk leans heavily on the cloud but are there ways for such companies to benefit from this strategic approach to faster app development?
