(1)(a) TC Name

Value Stream Management Interoperability (VSMI)

(1)(b) Statement of Purpose

Currently, the value stream management (VSM) industry is fractured by having a lack of ubiquitous language and multiple data formats across tools. This TC sets out to create a value stream management standard for interoperability which will allow broader adoption of value stream management. This TC will seek to identify overlaps and understand differences between various value stream implementations and when possible use existing works as a basis of further development.

The purpose of the Value Stream Management Interoperability (VSMI) TC is to define a value stream management protocol for sharing data across enterprise platforms.

The work will focus on:

  • Defining key component parts of value stream data
  • Enabling interoperability of value streams
  • Establishing good practice for value stream data architecture
  • Creating open standards for value stream management metrics

Business Benefits

The business benefit of this TC is to bring increased interoperability to existing value stream standards, tools, and best practices. Other opportunities include enhanced observability and auditability of waste, quality, security, and risk.

Potential Stakeholders that would benefit from being represented in this TC include:

  • Organizations managing diverse/heterogeneous Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)/DevOps toolchains
  • Organizations building SDLC/DevOps tools
  • Organizations creating and/or consuming a VSM tool(s) or platform
  • Cybersecurity regulators & professionals
  • Organizations building VSM software and wanting interoperability between systems
  • Software engineering and design companies
  • Quality Management roles
  • ISO standardized organizations
  • Users of value stream mapping and management tools and platforms

(1)(c) Scope

The VSMI TC work is the development of value stream management data interchange standards, based on the needs identified by the VSMI TC Members. The Standards Track Work Product efforts will be related to improving existing information representations for codifying, analyzing, and sharing of value stream data.

In addition to Standards Track Work Products, the VSMI TC work products may include supporting documentation, open source tooling, and any other materials deemed necessary to encourage the adoption of the TC's specifications.

(1)(d) Deliverables

The first deliverables for this TC are likely to include:

  • Differential analysis with existing works
    • Existing data format interoperability
    • Existing standards survey
    • Gap analysis
  • Outline of key components
  • Definition and attributes of key components
  • Privacy and regulatory concerns for various data formats
  • Glossary & supporting resources

(1)(e) IPR Mode
