Value Stream Mapping Introduction

12/04/2011
Do you know where in your SW development process you are losing precious time and money? What are the bottlenecks preventing you from delivering working software as frequently as possible?

If you want to learn a technique to answer these questions on yourself or with your team, then join this session. It will teach you Value Stream Mapping, which is a technique to visualize any process and discover waste and bottlenecks. Managers, teams and commpanies using this technique easiliy remove waste and gain efficieny!

Benefits

Being able to build up a current Value Stream Map of any process to identify bottlenecks, inventories, waste etc.

Being able to build a future Value Stream Map including the implrovements of the process.

Learning Objectives

The goal of this session is to learn participants about Value Stream Mapping:

What it is and why it is useful

How it works and how to actually do it (including hands-on experience by practicing)

Target Audience

Everybody that is interested in improving processes will benefit from this session and is welcome! We explicitly aim this workshop towards Scrum Masters, agile coaches and people wanting to improve their software development process.

Session Outline

This workshop is partly a recapture of the session presented at XP Days 2010. Unlike then, now there is more time to interactively guide the participants through an exercise to learn to build a Value Stream Map of their software development process. They will work in small groups to optimize learning. The necessary theory and context will be provided by the presenters just in time.
