" summary

Describes a Lilly value stream management rollout that links Jenkins, Chef and DevOps automation into a single reporting layer to correlate epics stories and tickets, eliminate manual handoffs and stop last-minute release emergencies. Claims include reduced environment creation from >30 days to <5 hours, removal of three‑day blackout releases by cutting waiting time, and dashboards that provide centralized SDLC visibility despite GxP-regulated, 90% outsourced constraints. Vendors and governance workflows are used to enforce artifact and signoff completion.
