So, how many Value Streams do you really have?

Session Description:
As Value streams are being adopted across companies, we see that the definition, boundaries, and measurement of Value Streams are being done without a fundamental input – customer pull. There are, of course, several barriers to achieving this alignment; what is a team looking to improve to do in such a case? Are we fated to live with one or several local optima? This session answers several such questions with examples, and illustrates models for real, business improvement.

Key Takeaways

Understand local v/s global optima

Why Value streams get fragmented

Understand customer pull for value streams

Aligning Value streams across multiple hops

Why measurements focus on downstream execution
