    Previously, our team used Jenkins. However, since it's a shared deployment resource we don't have admin access. We tried GoCD as it's open source and we really like. We set up our deployment pipeline to run whenever codes are merged to master, run the unit test and revert back if it doesn't pass. Once it's deployed to the staging environment, we can simply do 1-click to deploy the appropriate version to production. We use this to deploy to an on-prem server and also AWS. Some deployment pipelines use custom Powershell script for.Net application, some others use Bash script to execute the docker push and cloud formation template to build elastic beanstalk.

    It is ideal for value stream mapping in:- - Software development ie agile and devops, and CI/CD pipelines - Portfolio management - Process improvement and workflow automation - scaling agile - creating alignment with business objectives and IT goals It is less appropriate for:- - Technical analysis and product design

    Pros
    ThoughtWorks
    • Pipeline-as-Code works really well. All our pipelines are defined in yml files, which are checked into SCM.
    • The ability to link multiple pipelines together is really cool. Later pipelines can declare a dependency to pick up the build artifacts of earlier ones.
    • Agents definition is really great. We can define multiple different kinds of environments to best suit our diverse build systems.

    GoCD is easier to setup, but harder to customize at runtime. There's no way to trigger a pipeline with custom parameters.
    Jenkins is more flexible at runtime. You can define multiple user-provided parameters so when user needs to trigger a build, there's a form for him/her to input the parameters.

    Much more advanced and customizable than iterations of the above tools I've used. But more focused on Flow metrics than others. And more complex, IMO.

    Return on Investment
    ThoughtWorks
    • ROI has been good since it's open source
    • Settings.xml need to be backed up periodically. It contains all the settings for your pipelines! We accidentally deleted before and we have to restore and re-create several missing pipelines
    • More straight forward use of API and allows filtering e.g., pull all pipelines triggered after this date

    Screenshot of Portfolio Insights consolidates the highlights from a product line, portfolio, group, or department.Screenshot of The Flow Metrics dashboard visualizes and measures product value streams. Out-of-the-box metrics and analytics reveal problem areas, illuminate dependencies, and guide investment to improve speed, velocity, and quality.Screenshot of The Flow Modeler is a visual layout of the end-to-end workflow of an entire value stream, from customer request to customer delivery. Flow Modeler builds the value stream map directly from the data in the user's tools and shows in real-time where bottlenecks are emerging.Screenshot of An easy-to-read Neglected Work Work in Progress (WIP) graph alerts you when value streams have taken on more work than they can deliver.Screenshot of Business-aligned visibility into value delivery aligns teams to measurable outcomes. Flow Metrics alone do not help an organization accelerate value delivery - they must be evaluated against business results. Business and technology teams can work toward a single set of goals and align around a joint set of outcomes.
