Overview

August 17

As government organizations improve the maturity of their DevOps transformations, executive leaders are beginning to question how the people, process, culture and technology changes made during transformation are adding value to their agencies. With a streamlined organization and delivery process in place, why is it still so difficult to deliver innovative, new capabilities at the drop of a hat? What is the long-term value of the transformation investment made so far, and how will recent changes help address the future demands of their organization?

On August 17 at 1:00 PM Central, join us for a webinar on the value stream of technology in government, and how to connect your IT team’s investments with outcomes for the community you serve.

In this proactive session we will discuss:

Why industry analysts are positioning value stream approaches as the next wave of IT innovation
How executive leaders can identify and prioritize high value deliverables despite the pressures introduced by digital transformation efforts
What a shift to value stream-based approaches means for agencies looking to drive customer satisfaction from their DevOps transformations
