Value Stream Mapping
SQUAD helps to facilitate effective value stream identification and value stream mapping sessions. Our expert consultants guide leadership teams through a one-day workshop.
Organizing around value streams offers substantial benefits to the organization, including faster learning, shorter time-to-market, higher quality, higher productivity, and leaner budgeting mechanisms. In SAFe®, organizing around value is accomplished by first understanding value streams and then launching Agile Release Trains or Solution Trains to fulfill them. Value stream mapping can be used to identify and address delays and non-value-added activities to accomplish the Lean-Agile goal of the shortest sustainable lead time.
