I’ve stumbled across yet another community initiative for BSM today called BSM Review over at BSMReview.com. At first glance, this community effort appears to be heavily influenced by current/former analysts and BMC employees so the content focus may initially appear to be heavily in alignment with what their backgrounds are. If participation and true community evolves, hopefully this can become a long lived resource for “next practices” in BSM.
A quick search on LinkedIn shows many other BSM Community efforts. Heck, I even have mine structured but not released. Being able to span the “reality divide” and take solid concepts and get them into the hands of practitioners on the ground is the hard part and what’s really needed. I know I wasn’t asked to contribute/participate nor do I see any of the others who speak about BSM in the community regularly on board yet. Time will tell I suppose.
Emerging vendors in the BSM space are making this a reality by just taking the K.I.S.S. approach and incorporating the concepts, goals and objectives of BSM right into their technology. This is the right start approach for green field or brown field environments and maturing into the broader “process based” BSM over time is best. The Time to Value (TTV) barrier is what the BSM industry needs to smash through quickly so all the more communities, vendors, technologies, techniques or “next practices” are welcomed.
Welcome to the BSMReview.com gang and best of luck with your initiative!
