What is Deterministic Process Design®?

Deterministic Process Design® is an activity design model in which processes have no randomness, Randomness most frequently happens when teams have no framework or "guard rails" for work execution, and do what feels right, right now.  The deterministic approach provides clarity and transparency, which does much more, but also enables automated provisioning, work flow measurements, and work in progress monitoring.

DevOps delivers tremendous advantages through automation of processes. Designing processes that can be automated across your entire  value stream requires a new approach to process design.  

The acceleration of process from development through deployment also puts increasing pressure on the requirements collection and provisioning processes.  Automated processes and requirements management drive clarity of expectations and consistency of process which in turn provides practitioners with an environment conducive to focusing on the work, with reduced distraction from reactive work discovery and low- to no-value-added administrative work.   

A basic tenet of DevOps is building feedback loops, which of course means all of our stakeholders, and to use automation to accelerate and improve speed to value. BizDevOps - we're all in this together!

Deterministic Process Design® enables rules based process work flow which can be automated using commonly available software tools.  This additionally provides significant benefits by providing intellectual property and asset protection, version control, improved availability to distributed teams, and re-use.
