Many teams and organizations are seeing positive outcomes from focusing on value and flow in their teams, but how do you actually do that? Value Stream Mapping (VSM) aims to do exactly that, but coming from physical manufacturing and being decades old is not helpful in today's tech teams. Most Value Stream Maps you'll see are messy, jargon-filled diagrams only a consultant could read. In this talk, Steve Pereira will give you the 20% of value stream mapping (VSM) goodness that produces 80% of the value and share specific examples of how to create and use a VSM to debug workflows and save time, frustration and waste. You'll hear about why Value Stream Mapping is useful, how it's done and how you can do it, where it applies, what challenges it addresses, and the common outcomes and ROI.
