Value stream mapping is an important concept, but few people can gain buy in for the activity. My talk covers techniques so anyone can get started, even if there is little buy in and no funding.

Many people call Value Stream Mapping “transformational” and “a game-changer.” But what if people aren’t ready for a large heavyweight activity with leadership buy in? Do you just give up? Understanding the entire system end-to-end is crucial for Agile-DevOps product development, and improving your ways of working. By mapping the system, including delays, handoffs, and information passed along, you can measure and optimize the entire path to value. In this session, Heidi shares what she has learned across years of both doing, and attempting to do, Value Stream Mapping — both as an employee inside organizations, and as a consultant. We demystify the concept and show anyone how to get started, in an agile way, of course. By the end of the session, you’ll have a better understanding of the goals of Value Stream Mapping and be ready to start using it for your organization’s benefit. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to level up your ways of working and optimize your value delivery!
