About her presentation: Value Streams are Made of People
For millenia, human beings have survived by learning, then applying our learning to different contexts. We’re so good at it that we’re driven to find those patterns, even when they don’t exist. Our desire for the predictable suffuses everything we do!

In Lean Production, mapping value streams can help us find, and eliminate, sources of unpredictability. Software Development though is not like a factory, building the same thing over and over again. In this talk we look at how to embrace the unpredictability inherent to innovation, making value streams out of the people involved in them: not from the sum of their parts, but from the product of their relationships.
