Abstract

See full text

A computer analyzes application lifecycle management data to calculate waste and inefficiency. The computer receives application lifecycle management (ALM) data that includes workflow artifacts, workflow artifact states, and linkage between the workflow artifacts. The ALM data also includes time stamps associated with the workflow artifacts and linkages. The computer calculates lag time between the time stamps of the ALM data. The lag times measure the timeliness of collaboration and communication within a software development project, and based on the calculated lag times or averages, the computer generates visualizations including value steam maps, lag time visualizations or waste reduction visualizations. These visualizations can monitor the performance of a team or can be used to compare the performance of multiple teams throughout a software development project.
