Recently, I am hearing things like “We are the World Leader for Value Stream Mapping” from vendors and managed service providers alike.
Why? I thought. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) was originally introduced in 1996. Why is this becoming such a hot item again now?
Other tag lines and mantras that you are likely to hear are things like:
- Experience Management is an Evolution
- Speed to Value not Time to Market
- Without continuous flow, continuous integration
- Continuous Delivery are just an aspire!
- From
Milestones To a Continuous Quality Assurance Flow
- Shift Left, and
- Green to Green
Do your IT professionals understand the difference or relationships of process to Value Streams? If your organization is focusing on Security, Quality, Compliance, and Speed for the delivery of products and services this is a must-have. A pipeline without a value stream is destined to fail at some level! VSM is critical to “FLOW” thinking and increasing FLOW and reducing WASTE is the only way to achieve the required Customer Experience.
Processes support value Streams – Surprise! Not all processes require Value Streams. But ALL Value streams require processes. Learn IF, WHEN and HOW--- Design New, Reengineer, or to Improve your processes and how help to support value streams. Strategy!
