Continuous flow — from idea to customer value realization — is a core Agile principle. Yet, Agile practitioners often experience frustration from the many road-blocks and organizational challenges that impede speed and flow, both within their technical teams, and across the enterprise. Continuous flow is becoming especially important as enterprises realize that, to remain competitive, they must develop digital vision and capabilities in all aspects of the enterprise, through close collaboration with technical teams, to continuously deliver outstanding customer experiences in a highly disruptive marketplace. Learn how to better utilize the principles and practices of Value Stream mapping, analysis, measurement, and management to overcome these obstacles, enabling continuous improvement and innovation of products, services and processes, creating continuous flow of value into the hands and hearts of your customers.
