Details

Steve's talk will begin at 6:30, but feel free to arrive between 6 and 6:30 for networking and pizza and beer.
Talk description:
How can you make time for real innovation and improvement? How do you know what to automate? How do you escape process prison? How can you get everyone aligned to make a difference? How can you show your team how much better things could be?
Value Stream Mapping is a technique you can use right now, with materials you already have to discover opportunities, build and share your vision and save hours of toil every week so you can invest in what’s next.
Sprinkle it on your:
- Delivery/Data/Testing/Analytics/Logging Pipeline
- Developer/Customer Onboarding
- Environment Provisioning
- Failure Recovery/Incident Management/Support Triage
- SDLC
- Toil/Process of choice, you get it :)
…and start spending more time on what’s next
I’ve come to love and use Value Stream Maps after years of struggling to find time for innovation, rally buy-in and communicate ideas, issues and risks. They’ve helped me many times go from tearing my hair out (and I have the baldness to prove it!) to knowing exactly how to level up.
I structure the talk as a fun, story-based journey through enterprise IT, financial services and a startup or two to share this powerful tool that gets incredible results. Attendees will get a link to all my materials and examples to get started right away.
