In this episode, Steve joined Shahin to talk about Value Stream Mapping. For the first time, we had a live audience recording the episode. Peter, Ali, and Nasima from the audience asked questions from Steve by the end of the show.

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.
