Course Description
Help Organizations Achieve Business Agility with Value Stream Management
Do you want to improve the flow of value to your customers, whether external or internal?
Learn how to identify and improve weaknesses in the flow of value to your customers. Understand how value flow management improves efficiency while simultaneously reducing the cost of delays, waste, and risk.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Workshop Overview
Why You Should Consider a DAVSC Workshop
The DAVSC provides a way for small to large-scale organizations to quickly create a starting set of practices that everyone in the organization can agree on and use tailored for the organization. The approach allows quick adoption, enabling a fit-for-purpose approach suited to the organization’s size, culture, and challenges. It lowers resistance, speeds up adoption, and makes it generally more effective.
This 21 PDU instructor-led course goes beyond a single framework by teaching you the mindset, practices, and tools to reduce waste and focus on what matters.
Why Attend the DAVSC Workshop?
The concepts learned in the workshop enable adoptions to orient around the value streams. This avoids the challenge presented by other frameworks where starting at the team level leaves out portfolio management (intake management process) – which is needed even in small organizations.
The DAVSC also provides a decision framework and a few selected quick starts. The decision framework explicitly states how and why to pick practices for your situation. It is also used for continuous improvement.
Objectives Considered During Workshop
- Value Stream Management.
- The “Minimum Business Increment” to guide enhancements to existing products.
- Value creation structures allow smaller teams to focus on innovation and enable shared services to be closer to the teams they support.
- Approaches to do planning (both flow and timeboxed and with shorter cycles)
- A strategy to decouple the cadence of strategic and portfolio planning from the cadence of development. This enables having a quarterly business cycle with a shorter planning cycle for implementation.
