Online Intro to Value Stream Mapping Workshop: Learn practical tools to Visualize, analyze, optimize your workflows
What You'll Learn
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?
Value Stream Mapping (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.

Logistics
The call opens at start time, and it's first-come, first-serve - the first 10 people to join get to participate! If we're at capacity when you arrive, try again next time, or reach out about booking an exclusive workshop for you and your team!
I'm choosing this approach for 2 reasons:
- What counts is whether you show up to the workshop, not how far in advance you've booked it
- Online sessions work best when they're short and small so everyone gets time to participate and ask questions
What do others say?
- Feedback participants: online workshop
- Feedback participants: in-persion workshop in Lisbon with PRODUCTIZED and Patrice Corbard
- Feedback from Patrice Corbard, co-facilitator
- Feedback participants: in-persion workshop in Berlin with Domain Driven Design Berlin
- Feedback from running a full Value Stream Mapping workshop in practice
