Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Mapping
Meeting Learning:
One of the key tenants of Lean System Thinking is the understanding of the value stream in which the work is done. This is really the visualization and understanding of how an organization, team or group of people work and deliver value.

Meeting Description:
Having been involved with numerous agile adoptions and transformations there is a key shift that organizations, especially the leaders and managers of the organizations, need to understand and embrace to fully leverage the benefit of a self-directed agile team. That shift is that the leadership is no longer responsible for the team’s output. That responsibility is owned by the team. In an Agile | Lean space leadership is responsible for the system in which the team operates. I admit that this can sound a little ‘consultant-esque’, but it is a critical shift in thinking that Lean leaders must embrace
So how does an organization understand and visualize this system? What are leaders supposed to do to ‘own’ it? Why does it matter?
Join us at this month’s Agile KC meeting and Martin Olson of Silicon Prairie Solutions will lead a discussion about Value Stream Mapping. We’ll get an understanding on what a value stream map is, how they are captured and why they are so useful to every aspect of the business. In addition we’ll save some time so you can take a stab at capturing the value stream map that you are currently operating in (whether you know it or not.)
