Vancouver, BC, November 15, 2019--(T-Net)--Tasktop, a leader in Value Stream Integration, announced at the DevOps Enterprise Summit the limited availability of Tasktop Viz, the first purpose-built tool to implement the Flow Framework™.
It accomplishes this by using Tasktop's connector technology to automatically extract the end-to-end tool data that underpins software delivery, and then translating that data into a common language that business leaders understand.
"Adopting the Flow Framework means rising above the proxy metrics that lead so many transformations astray, and elevating the conversation to how software impacts revenue, cost of operation, customer retention, susceptibility to security breaches and the happiness and productivity of your staff," said Dr. Mik Kersten, PhD, best-selling author of Project to Product, creator of the Flow Framework, and co-founder and CEO of Tasktop.
"Viz provides IT organizations with business-level dashboards to run their software portfolio at any scale, providing the most critical underpinning needed to steer a successful Agile and DevOps transformation."
Viz allows enterprise organizations to see where the bottlenecks are across thousands or tens of thousands of IT staff to provoke the right conversations and measure the journey to product-centric operations.
It provides:
Viz spells the end of ETL and data lake dependencies; custom coding; data manipulation; and long lead times. Tasktop's one-of-a-kind modeling instantly aligns, reconciles and abstracts cross-tool data into actionable measurements of flow. Customers can model each of their product value stream across a heterogeneous tools landscape, encompassing not only development to release, but inclusive of the ideation phases upstream and operation phases downstream, adding immediate value to the enterprise. All of this is accomplished without the need to code or change the workflow.
A cloud-based solution that accommodates every tool, team and process, Viz requires no premature changes to existing org structures or technical infrastructure.
"As software is eating the world, traditional enterprises and agencies are failing in their digital transformations as they struggle to compete," said Neelan Choksi, president and COO of Tasktop. "With the introduction of Viz, we now provide these organizations with a powerful combination: Tasktop Viz shows them their bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and Tasktop Integration Hub helps remove those bottlenecks. We are so excited to deliver the all-encompassing technology needed to meet Dr. Kersten's groundbreaking vision of the future as detailed in Project to Product and his practical guide to get organizations to that future via the Flow Framework."
Tasktop Viz is available in limited release today. It will be available in general release in January 2020. More about Viz can be found at Dr. Kersten's blog post here and in a video here.
