HCL DevOps Velocity is a value stream management platform that gathers DevOps pipeline data and presents insights for teams. Its query language lets teams model value streams to inform budgeting, timelines, and staffing decisions. Swim Lanes show who is handling each work item and its progress through the pipeline, while the Dots view maps work items to help surface bottlenecks. Governance features include automated and manual gates, audit tracking, and intelligent gates for risk and quality. HCL says its plugin library connects Velocity with hundreds of DevOps tools, and its documentation describes an integration using Jira, GitHub, Jenkins, and HCL DevOps Deploy. The product also lists connections for SAP ChaRM, Solution Manager, and Cloud ALM. Its containerized installation supports Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. Community Edition is always free for two to three licenses and includes online forum support. Standard Edition provides full support, with pricing available on request. A separate trial edition is free for 60 days, with unlimited concurrent users and non-production support.
