0 likes774 views
The document outlines a session at the DC Conference 2016 focused on value stream mapping to understand and improve processes related to Agile Central changes. Participants will collaboratively build a value stream map, discuss observations, and identify opportunities for process improvements. The session includes hands-on exercises to visualize workflows and calculate efficiency within specific processes.

- 3. Why are we here?
- 4. Why are we here? “In this session, attendees will work with facilitators and each other to build a value stream map for common types of changes (ex. Churro change) to Agile Central. The goal is to walk away with a better understanding of our current processes and identify a few valuable improvements to make our lives better.”

- 6. What is value stream mapping?
- 8. What the heck is Value Stream Mapping?! Value Stream Mapping is a visual approach to understand all of the steps in a process - including handoffs, delays, queues, and failures. Visualizing a process (which no single person may fully know) helps to identify waste and opportunities for improvement.

- 19. Shameless Plug for More Columns
- 20. Let’s Do This for Realz!
- 21. Open Space Exercise Part 1 (10 minutes) ● Pick a Specific Process ● Diagram Process ● Annotate Process Part 2 (10 minutes) ● Discuss Observations ● Discuss Options Part 3 (10 minutes) ● Share Prep ● Breakup into small groups (6-10) people ● At least a few people should be familiar with the same process ● Some people can just be there to observe
- 22. Exercise Step 1 - 10 Minutes ● Pick a Specific Process and form an Open Space ● Diagram The Process
- 23. Exercise Step 2 - 10 Minutes ● Annotate Process (times, delays, handoffs, rework, etc) ● Bonus: Calculate efficiency (active time / total time) ● Walk Around observing Open Spaces; ask questions
- 24. Exercise Step 3 - 10 Minutes ● If you had $50, $20, $20, $10 to invest in improvements to the process, where would you invest your $50 and why? ● Walk Around observing Open Spaces; ask questions
- 26. Now go Value Stream Map the S%!# out of your processes! Adam Zolyak CA AC ⚡ DC Conference 2016
