Value Stream Mapping App

About the Book

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a powerful tool for software development teams aiming to improve efficiency, reduce waste of their day to day and week to week activities. Within a culture of continuous improvement, and a team belief some things can be improved incrementally, greater value can be delivered to customers more often and with less bugs.

Luc and Paul's book talks through the history of lean/agile improvements, value stream mapping, differences when it comes to software development, and comes with an 'app' for you to use in whole-team VSM activities towards running experiments for improvements.
