Observations and gaps
ValueStreams and Capabilities
PMO has asked why tools are missing for
demand/portfolio and pipeline management
EA observes there are only two speeds for delivery, Agile
and Waterfall and Dept wish to be seen as nimble via the
use of Agile.
Customer Services and the Transition team are using and
extending spreadsheets to track project related pipeline
elements.
Multiple references to needing timely change support. In
particular EA stated his key request: "There should be
‘one change management system' only
Opportunities: importance, urgency and phase
Implement Demand and Portfolio management toolsets to
support the agreed overall process.. Suggest piloting
processes and methods for pipeline tracking (such as
Kanban).
H 2 Phase
2
Piloting methods for managing flow, work in progress and
pipeline visibility - such as Kanban.
This approach will also support other initiatives such as a
DevOps style delivery.
H 2 Phase
2
Adopt a limited Agile approach for some target
requirements, potentially leveraging the AppDev
competencies for LOB applications and initiatives raised
via the CDO.
M 2 Phase
2
Consider implementing a pace layering approach that will
fit with IS Operations requirements
M 1 Phase
2
Consider Change support as a key element of the Value
Chain reference architecture

Service Families, Value Streams & Supporting Capabilities
‘Why’ of Service Families:
• Grouping services (from the Portfolio)
together into families recognises that the
same (or similar) value streams,
capabilities (and potentially) functional
areas/teams deliver the services within a
family – in essence, a Family Operating
Model.
• Service Families are a way to consolidate
capabilities around service delivery, build
capability around gaps, and de-duplicate
capabilities where they exist.
• Result: faster flow and responsiveness can
be achieved by optimising the flow of
work (& reducing handoffs) across value
streams

Lessons and Takeaways
Lessons
1.Product/Service Families are key to Operating Model alignment
2. Remember to adopt IT4IT to support Operating Model vision, don’t “implement” it
3. It’s a lot to consume for clients so tune the language (D2C = Ops and Support)
4. As with DevOps, IT4IT runs into silos BUT at the Macro level
5. Walking the walk teaches you how hard it is… & culture matters….really
Take-Aways
1. The IT4IT standard can accommodate digital and traditional service portfolios
2. Products and service lifecycle release cadence are key to value stream design
3. Agile, DevOps, ITSM, Project Mgmt & Governance can all co-exist within the IT4IT RA
