Value Stream is the latest software delivery approach in the industry that both scales across the diverse enterprise, and scales up to software endeavors of all sizes. It differs from populist Agile scaling frameworks in that it is not rigid, but rather is an enabler to teams who wish to self organize at the scale of the enterprise and who wish to learn empirically from their experience about what works in practice and what doesn't. Being supported by the Advisor platform, Value Stream is the only approach to modern capability improvement that goes beyond "System Thinking" name dropping. You could say that it isn't a method at all. Value Stream is an approach that explains the context, function and purpose of practices within the overall software delivery ecosystem so that teams can understand why succeeding projects succeed, and failing projects fail.
Value Stream is built to bind all the essential ingredients to yield meaningful and diverse playbooks to support self-organization and continuous improvement at scale. It provides a credible "how" for integrating all practice knowledge from all prior methods. We take visualization of a teams way-of-working one step further by visualizing waste, WIP Limits, cycle-times and quality metrics integrated from hybrid software delivery infrastructure all in one playbook across the Value Stream segments - in real time. There really is nothing like it out there. Whether it be streaming analytics in the context of a teams moment-in-time way of working, quickly reusing proven experience, mitigate risky practice choices without the need for expensive coaches, or providing a credible choice architecture that defines the function of the many practices out there, nobody even comes close to Value Stream.

From such a deep methodology basis, HyperAgility™ was born. Through the clarity of how an effective software value streams work and why, we have been able to experiment with various configurations, permutations and combinations. With the arrival of LLM's, the opportunity to radically redesign the supply chain presents itself. Not only is HyperAgility™ coherent at the individual team or solution level, such clarity facilitates a deep understanding of how it integrates into the larger enterprise chain.
