The document discusses achieving continuous visibility across the DevOps lifecycle. It argues that local optimizations and lack of integration between tools has led to manual processes that slow down delivery. It promotes the use of integration patterns and infrastructure to provide end-to-end visibility by connecting tools across planning, development, testing and operations. This allows teams to see dependencies, impacts, quality status and automate deployment for less variance and faster delivery.

Target DevOps Bottlenecks with Connected Lifecycle DataTasktop
Transforming your fragmented software development and delivery capability into a highly efficient DevOps machine won’t happen overnight. To deliver customer value faster, you must go on a journey of continuous improvement to connect teams, automate processes and eliminate waste from the value chain. This requires you to:
* Understand your value chain
* Connect the value chain to eliminate waste and establish end-to-end traceability
* Collect and measure end-to-end software delivery metrics
* Target bottlenecks and waste, and identify solutions using more focused metrics
The lack of visibility into these metrics is where many DevOps initiatives fall short. Much of the waste in the value chain happens at the handoffs between teams, so it’s impossible to eliminate this waste if you are only measuring KPIs within the silos.
Learn how our customers are using connected lifecycle data to guide their enterprise DevOps journeys.

Accelerating Digital Transformation: It's About Digital EnablementJoshua Gossett
Digital Transformation is a strategy that industries have been embracing over the past several years. Efforts are maturing but organizations are continuing to struggle to capture new digital value and reflect it on the bottom line. Digital Transformation efforts for most legacy companies are struggling, as they are looked on as a Technology problem.
Any "Transformational" strategy must address all the stakeholders involved as well as have a focus on delivering value to these stakeholders at multiple levels. Success can and has been delivered through the creation of Digital Transformation Enablement Programs that address the multiple stakeholder dimensions (people, process, and technology) and ultimately lead to digital being just how we do business.
In this discussion I will specifically outline the steps that we have leveraged to deliver Digital Transformation Enablement and as a byproduct change the way people work, how they approach problems with the application of technologies, and ultimately drive new value for their organization and customers.

Enable High-performance and Strategic Capabilities with Flow MetricsTasktop
To remain relevant amid increasing market disruption, organizations have no choice but to compress their software delivery timelines to deliver features customers want, faster.
Frequently, tactical decisions are made to add people, invest in more tools, and increase the amount of work in teams’ backlogs without achieving the desired results. Agile transformations introduce methodologies and frameworks without the appropriate support mechanisms for success. To enable high performance and inform strategic decisions, organizations need a new foundation.
During this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Flow Framework Engagement Manager, Kristen Biddulph, presents how Flow Metrics provide that foundation, irrespective of methodology or framework, by surfacing end-to-end data on an organization’s flow of work, providing insights that will help them meet their goals.
Flow Metrics: An MRI of your Product Value StreamsTasktop
IT within large enterprises can span vast and complex business portfolios, with numerous external and internal-facing products and their domains. The delivery and maintenance of these products is supported by a network of tools, teams, technologies and processes, all with their own unique variants. The primary goal of the shift to a product-oriented model is to increase business agility and to satisfy the diverse and ever-changing needs of the customer. Organizations must react quickly to customer needs to accelerate the flow of business value from ideation to operation. However, the way the work is traced and measured is slowing down the time to value.
This lack of visibility makes it impossible to know if value is accelerating, time-to-value is getting shorter, waste is decreasing, value work is prioritized and whether demand is outweighing capacity. By automating and visualizing the flow of work and abstracting the end-to-end data across the toolchain underpinning your product value streams, you can get an MRI of your product’s health to help answer those questions and take informed action before it’s too late.
During this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Senior Flow Advisor, Laksh Ranganathan, presents how the Flow Framework™ and Flow Metrics can help organizations make work within product value streams visible and create a data-driven blueprint for scaled success across a portfolio of products.
Project To Product: How we transitioned to product-aligned value streamsTasktop
The project to product movement is quickly gathering speed - a recent Gartner report found that 85% of respondents are shifting to a product-centric mentality. However, the complexity and uncertainty of software delivery at scale, coupled with the sheer number of people involved in the process, is too much for traditional project management techniques. Motivation is not enough to achieve a successful transformation—the product-centric model requires new skill sets, different investments and a change in culture.
What does the shift away from project-thinking really look like?
During this webinar, Tasktop VP of Product Development, Nicole Bryan, combines our own journey with the experience of working with our enterprise customers, to paint a clear picture of the cross-organizational challenges in store - and how you can address them by:
- Adopting a “customer-first” mindset
- Appointing a Product Value Stream Lead and a Product Manager
- Implementing the Flow Framework™ to align the language of IT with the language of the business
Value Stream Architecture: What it is and how it can helpTasktop
Modern enterprises increasingly rely on software to keep the lights on and lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth. Among many things, IT leaders are tasked with accelerating the time to value of their software delivery value streams.
But when asked, “Do you know what is slowing your software delivery teams down?”, why do IT leaders typically not know the answer?
Methodologies such as Agile and DevOps have been adopted to accelerate the time between build to deploy, yet the benefits are often only felt at a localized level (more sprints completed, higher number of deployments etc.) without a tangible link to business outcomes. Enter Value Stream Architecture.
During this webinar, Senior Value Stream Architect, Dan Feminella, presents:
- The business case for Value Stream Architecture
- Why your organization needs it in order to scale Agile and DevOps
- How to architect for end-to-end flow of business value from customer request to delivery and back through the customer feedback loop
Why Digital Transformations are Failing at ScaleTasktop
During this webinar guest speaker, Forrester VP, Principal Analyst, Diego Lo Giudice, and Tasktop CEO, Dr. Mik Kersten, present their research on why transformations are failing at scale and how a product value stream approach enables organizations to survive and thrive in the age of digital disruption.
How to Integrate Multiple Jira Instances to Improve Collaboration, Visibility...Tasktop
There is no denying that Jira has taken over the developer space. Most developers only want to use Jira, and many organizations are taking advantage of the flexibility of Jira by making it their single source of truth for all software delivery teams.
If Jira is your single source of truth, it’s easy to believe you don’t need to connect to the rest of your value stream. But what about when you have multiple Jira instances across Jira, Jira Cloud and Data Center? The truth is, in order to ensure cross-team visibility, traceability and overarching reporting, you don’t need to look past Jira for the need to integrate.
This on-demand webinar discusses and demonstrates why you need to integrate your Jira instances to:
- Increase collaboration and reduce informal handovers
- Automate information flow to enable traceability across multiple Jira system
- Seamlessly accommodate organization change (mergers, acquisitions, reorgs), minimizing team disruptions
- Centralize fragmented data in a reporting database to identify bottlenecks
Future proof your jira integrations and avoid api change panicTasktop
Does the Jira API change leave you vulnerable to disruption?
If you’re connecting Jira to the rest of your software delivery toolchain, Atlassian’s new approach to user identification could mean a major headache. What happens to all of the integrations you’ve set up when the API change goes into effect on April 29th?
Join Tasktop to learn more about what’s changing and see how you can keep product-critical data flowing between teams with Value Stream Integration.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
