What Are Value Streams And How Do You Identify Them?

Do you know what your value streams are?
Do you know how your organisation creates value for your customers and users?
Do you know how important those value streams are compared to each other and do you know how much or how little everything your people are doing ties in to those value streams?
Do you know how much of what you are currently doing is not directly relevant to creating value for your customers or users?
Agile Leadership Coach Geoff Watts explains what value streams are and how you can start organising your work around them.

I couldnt click this video fast enough when I saw the title, hope it's the panacea I've been looking for! Edit: Loved the story mate, you're a great teller, but you barely spoke about the titular topics

Thanks so much!

DVS are projects or business units?

great video. subscribed. love the story. However, are you saying, the top priority projects described were the value streams? That kinda differs from my understanding...

Hi Nick. Thanks for taking the time to comment. In the simplified version of the story it appears that way yes. In many cases "projects" are indeed not value streams (which I think you are hinting at). The case here was, for this organisation, simply focusing on one of the many things that provide value (in this case, stopping the CEO going to jail) was a great place to start.

Yeah, good story, but the clear definition of value streams seems to be missing?
