Why Metrics Matter “Without a knowledge of what your work is We manage what we measure • really costing you, you They provide insights into • are in no position to say improvement opportunities to what extent your real They show progress • costs vary from what A DevOps journey is a big • your work should cost investment – we need to know the you. You have no gauge on return performance. Further, The goal is to become, or retain a • because you don’t position, as a high performing employ time-study organization methods and have no Core to DevOps culture is trust: • definite tasks, you have data is evidence and builds trust no means of knowing what performance should be.” 1918 4 4

Who Metrics Matter To “High-velocity managers are not in place to command, control, berate, intimidate, or evaluate through a contrived set of metrics, but to ensure that their organizations become ever more self- diagnosing and self-improving, skilled at detecting problems, solving them, and multiplying the effect by making the solutions available throughout the organization.” Dr. Stephen Spear 5 5

Velocity Flow Velocity is the number of flow Items of each type completed over a particular period of time - also referred to as throughput Distribution Flow Distribution measures the ratio of the four Flow Items completed over a particular window of time Time Flow Time measures the time it takes for Flow Items to go from ‘work start’ to ‘work complete’, including both active and wait times Efficiency Flow Efficiency is the ratio of active time vs. wait time out of the total Flow Time Load Flow Load measures the number of Flow Items currently in progress (active or waiting) within a particular value stream 8 8

Definition of Value value noun /ˈvæl.juː/ 1. The amount of money that can be received for something 2. The importance or worth of something for someone 9 9

Start with Value Stream Thinking 6 5 Selecting Which Understanding the Work in Value Stream Our Value Stream, Making it to Start With Visible, and Expanding it Across the Organization “Once we have identified a value stream to which we want to apply DevOps principles and patterns, our next step is to gain a sufficient understanding of how value is delivered to the customer: what work is performed and by whom, and what steps can we take to improve flow.” 11 11
