Adopt Agile Practices in Decentralized D&A to Optimize the Organization’s Value Streams

As organizations grapple with keeping teams aligned in an environment of accelerated change, product leaders are adopting lean agile practices and aligning teams within the portfolio along value streams. But one often overlooked aspect of lean practices is the role of data and analytics (D&A). D&A can be used to improve decision-making, business processes and outcomes, including identification of risks, opportunities and challenges.

Unfortunately, D&A teams often sit outside the product organization and can’t offer cross-functional insights to teams, even within the same value stream. This limits the portfolio leader’s ability to see what creates value or where generated waste reduces value. Without visibility along the value stream, leaders don’t realize the full impact of their decisions beyond their own silo, sometimes resulting in unintended consequences.

But there’s a better way. According to research from Gartner®, data-driven business context supports decision making in each value stream and can be the enabler of alignment and collaboration across business functions.

Read this report to learn the latest research-based recommendations for how to use the data you already have to better inform the crucial decisions that impact teams all along your value streams.

IN THIS REPORT, YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Ways to describe, connect, and visualize decisions relevant to the flow of value
  • Methods to preserve the autonomy and agility of D&A teams
  • Effective techniques  for aligning D&A teams, stakeholders, and IT specialists for end-to-end visibility along value streams
