Decoding the Metrics Maze: How Platform Marketing Fuels Confusion Between SEI, VSM, and Metrics


Listen Later

The episode is a follow-up to my August 2024 article and Podcast Episode 18 from Season 1: Navigating the Digital Product Workflow Metrics Landscape: From DORA to Comprehensive Value Stream Management Platform Solutions

In this episode, the AI hosts share my perspective on the increasing confusion between Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) and Value Stream Management (VSM) platforms caused by overlapping features and marketing messages.

The discussion highlights the importance of choosing platforms based on an organization’s specific needs: SEI for addressing engineering bottlenecks and VSM for broader, cross-functional improvements. It addresses common misconceptions, introduces a new framework called The DX Core 4, and highlights the need to choose tools that fit an organization’s budget, current situation, challenges, goals, and visibility needs.
