Topics
We conversed about and around the following topics:
Value Streams let you see the big picture and your biggest bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities.
A value stream captures a view beyond common Agile and DevOps visibility to how we create and deliver value.
A Value Stream Map lets to share that view with others and align on what to do next.
A map should be simple to start (you can always add more data if you want) – avoid heavy/complex approaches.
People are the most important part. Facilitation, handoffs, incentives, psychological safety are major factors.
