Continuous Monitoring is an approach to get a grip on both core value streams (business processes) and enable value streams that support these core value streams. Continuous Monitoring differs from classical monitoring by its focus on outcome improvement and the holistic scope with which value streams are measured, i.e., the entire CI/CD secure pipeline for all three perspectives of PPT: People, Process and Technology. The approach includes People, Process and Technology, which makes it possible to identify and eliminate or mitigate the bottlenecks in your value streams.

This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of a discussion of the monitor functions defined in the continuous monitoring layer model. This layer model classifies the monitor tools available on the market. Each monitor archetype is defined in this book in terms of definition, objective, measurement attributes, requirements, examples, and best practices. This book also indicates how to set up Continuous Monitoring in your organisation based on the change manager paradigm and architecture principles and models. With this integral agile approach to monitoring, you have a powerful tool at your disposal to set up the controls for the control of your value streams.
