Lean-Agile at Scale and the Team: The Value Stream Series.

Click here for full info.

Can a webinar series have a significant impact on how you implement Agile? This one can! How? The value stream is the heart of Lean-Thinking. It suggests looking at the flow of work from when an idea is considered until it is consumed by the customer. Time to market is the guiding principle. Time to market is quickened by taking the view that the best way to shorten it while achieving high quality, productivity and low cost is to remove delays in the process – not to short-cut the steps themselves. This is guided by the science of Lean-Flow. Everyone involved in the value stream – executives, business stakeholders, marketing, product portfolio managers, mid-managers, first-line managers, analysts, the development team, testing, integration, and operations all play a part.
