WEBINAR – Transitioning To Agility (Step 2): Mapping Your Value Stream to Understand Your Challenges & Find Solutions
To manifest agility at the enterprise level, one must learn about an organization’s flow of work. This webinar introduces value stream mapping – a graphical method of showing how an organization’s flow of work goes from concept to consumption.
Many organizations are undertaking Agile methods at the team level, when, in fact, that is not the major impediment to the organization’s agility. The Lean technique of 5-whys, useful to get to the root cause of errors, is also introduced. Value stream mapping, combined with 5-whys is often essential determine where to start in your transition to agility.
Our experience at Net Objectives is that undertaking an agile transition without value stream mapping is often like looking for something where the light is better, but not necessarily where the problem is. One significant difference between agile methods is how they approach the enterprise. Some, like Scrum, start at the team and attempt to scale up – often with little success. Value stream mapping can provide a big picture of the problems the organization faces. It enables and optimizes the whole approach – a fundamental Lean concept.
