Agile CoP: Value Stream Mapping

Virtual Meeting

Value Stream Mapping has been around since 1914, and the book that launched it is still in print!

So, how does Agile use VSM? Do we get into every detail of each operation? How does that relate to process improvement and waste removal?

Why do so few Scrum and Kanban teams use it?

Luiz “Q” Quintela talks about how VSM can benefit Agile teams and how it is used to improve the processes, drive faster value delivery, and how it is easier to use for a team or group of items.
