 GitLab 15.8 introduced a new feature called Value Stream Dashboard. It is a dashboard with executive level summary of scheme metrics related to the flow of value across the organization. The dashboard helps executives and software leaders to identify bottlenecks in their software delivery workflow and optimize it. My name is Itzigan Baruch. I'm a Senior Technical Marketing Manager here at GitLab, and I'm excited to show you demo of this new feature. I have here a GitLab group and I opened the Value Stream Dashboard. As you notice, this is a beta and actually it is a closed beta. It is not available currently for production use. If you want, you can use this feedback issue to provide any feedback to the product team. What we see here in this dashboard? On the left column, we can see the list of key flow metrics. The third four are the famous Dora 4 metrics, deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time to restore service, and change failure rate. We have also another performance metrics like lead time, cycle time, new issues, and deploys. In the right columns, you can see the values of each metric. Now you can compare between the different metrics, but also between the performance between months. We have three columns, month to date, the previous month, and the month before. On the right column, you can see a sparkline of the past six months that helps to detect seasonalities. For example, here we can see the deployment frequency, where we decrease of 15%, but if we go to the sparkline, we will be able to see if it's something that happens only in one month or it's a trend. In this case, we see it's December, we know everyone went to a break due to the holidays, and we see that in January there is an improvement. In this case, as a leader, I would not take an action at this stage, at least not, I would continue to follow on this metric. Now let's see another example. Here for the lead time, I can see that in December there was a decrease in the lead time, and this decrease continues in January. So in this case, what I can do is do a further investigation to go to the underlying data, and I will drill down. This opens for me the value stream analytics, where I can see how the time was spent for the lead time, so I can see that the overview took two weeks, and I can do another drill down, what are the stages that contributed to these two weeks? For example, the planning stage, the coding stage, the testing, reviewing and staging, and from here I can do a further drill down, and click on one of each of those stages, and see the actual work, the issues or merit requests of that, and I can filter that by duration, and now I can see all of the relevant issues that contributed to these two weeks of planning, and I can do a further drill down and open some of those issues, like this one, I can get to the description of the issue, see all of the events that happened in the issue, someone added labels, removed label, all of the discussions and the events that happened, which helps me to try to analyze if there is anything that I am as a leader can help and improve, and by the way all of these stages are customizable, so we know that every team or a company or a project has different stages in their development workflow, so easily you can add your customizable workflow in your value stream. By the way, each of those metrics you can go and drill down, so I will not show you all of those, but I want to show you a couple more, so I will open the deployment frequency, and in the deployment frequency, you can see all of the deployments for different period of times from last week to past six months, and the last drill down that I will want to show you in this demo is the new issues, and I added a filter label equal type features, so in this graph I can see how many new issues awaited for new features for each month. So you also can compare between different groups and subgroups or projects, so I will show you a customizable view of a dashboard, so in this case I added to the GitLab way, or I added also other projects to the view, GitLab project, GitLab design project, GitLab docs project, and GitLab fast project, so now I have a group and few projects that they can compare the performance and see what are the areas for improvements between different teams and projects. If you want to learn more about the future and the roadmap of the value stream dashboard, you can go to this epic, and here you can see examples of new customizable widgets that the product team will add in the upcoming milestones, and those metrics will not only be for performance but also for vulnerabilities, for security and compliance. Another interesting data that will be left to the dashboard is the correlation between business value metrics like revenue and cost to the technical value metrics. So with that I would like to conclude this demo. Hope you find the new dashboard useful for you, and thank you for watching.
