  • Value stream graphs across heterogeneous software development platforms
    Patent number: 10509649
    Abstract: Systems and methods to autonomously generate emergent software delivery value stream graphs from work units (e.g., tasks) that are created and managed through different specialized software tools by the many teams of an entity (e.g., company, other organization) involved in large software delivery activities. The emergent software delivery value stream graphs may be produced by autonomously monitoring and integrating the activity from individual software development tools. Additionally or alternatively, emergent software delivery value stream graphs may be produced by altering a previously captured event stream based on a description of changes to a development stage stream and team information. The generated value streams may be analyzed and/or visualized to report on various aspects of the software development for an organization.
