What You'll Learn
Practical tools to visualize, analyze and optimize your workflows.
In this hands-on 1-hour workshop, you'll map a delivery workflow, identify bottlenecks, and apply lean principles to improve your delivery’s effectiveness.
What is Value Stream Mapping (VSM)?
VSM is designed to help teams achieve a specific business outcome by improving work processes.
In a series of group mapping activities, teams visualize the flow of work from start to finish, identify inefficiencies, delays, and waste. The team uses what they’ve learned to create a roadmap of measurable improvement actions, in service of delivering more value to the customer.
Originally developed at Toyota in the 1940s, value stream mapping helps teams visualize workflows to eliminate waste and deliver value faster. More info.

About Miguel Dias (Independent Technology Consultant):
I’m a Software Engineer with over five years of experience, building and scaling systems for large companies, startups, and a nonprofit.
I spent 2024 leading Value Stream Mapping initiatives at Relex, a global SaaS company, involving individual teams, multiple teams, and an entire technology department.
I’ve partnered with these teams to increase revenue by onboarding customers faster, preventing service disruptions, delivering value 2x more often, and wasting less time due to misalignment and lack of clarity.
A thought leader in the Value Stream Mapping and DevOps space, I’m actively engaged with the international community, and currently launching my own consultancy in Berlin.
