Value & Values

Value stream maps depict the when and where we create and deliver value as it flows through our organizations from the perspective of our stakeholders.  Understanding and documenting these flows enables us to focus on reducing waste and improving effectiveness and efficiency.

While value stream mapping has been around for a long time, there are new tools and recently developed capabilities that make VSMs significantly more useful.  Becoming a trained facilitator or having the whole team trained can make a big improvement in your results.

Automated value stream monitoring as part of a telemetry rich digital ecosystem enables data driven decisions that are measured in outcomes and OKRs, not KPIs and metrics.

Here are questions, and our current best answers to those questions about value streams, value stream maps, and value stream management.  We have deep history and the newest ideas to share!
