In this episode, the AI hosts explore my latest article on evolving our approach to Value Stream Management (VSM) — which we originally adopted to bring greater visibility to our Agile, Lean, and DevOps efforts. But while preparing for a conversation with an industry leader about the Product Operating Model (POM), I had a realization: we weren’t just managing flow — we were also structuring teams around outcomes.
This episode dives into how VSM and POM, often seen as separate frameworks, are actually complementary disciplines. VSM optimizes how work flows; POM ensures that work is aligned to customer and business outcomes. When combined, they create a powerful operating model focused on both efficiency and purpose. Backed by industry research, we explore why high-performing organizations are embracing this convergence — and what it means for the future of software delivery.
