Workshop Description

How to Design Approaches Using Agile and Lean

This workshop teaches how to design fit-for-purpose agile & lean approaches. All teams are different, and all scopes of work are different. The team's approach must enable them to deliver value as efficiently as possible while balancing enterprise considerations (governance, risk, dependencies, capacity, etc.) and the team and organization's culture.

Learn how to:

• Design approaches for varying types of work (enhancements, maintenance, etc.)

• Identify team and scope context

• Determine the type of approach (timeboxed, Kanban, continuous delivery, etc.)

• Compare process-related choices and combine them based on importance and benefit

• Construct an adoption backlog to manage the improvement of your approach

What Project Managers & Leadership Need to Know about Value Stream Management

In this presentation, Joshua Barnes provides insight into what leadership and Project Managers need to know about Value Stream Management and how it has been distilled into a one-day workshop, "Value Stream Management for Leadership and Project Management".

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Workshop Overview

Why You Should Consider the Value Stream Management for Leadership and Project Managers Workshop

Does this sound familiar?

  • Our time to market is too long
  • Work is not visualized; there is no easy way to see who is doing what
  • The time for feedback is long, so we often have missed expectations & rework
  • Work spends more time in “waiting” states vs. “doing” states
  • Our planning cycles are limiting our business agility
Why Attend the VSMPM Workshop?

PMOs and Project Professionals need to pivot from focusing on the project or scope to value delivery. Learn how to increase the flow of value by creating great environments, enabling delivery teams, supporting, and operational people to focus on achieving the vision of leadership. Most of the problems we see stem from where the work, the value-adding activities, is done and not the people who are doing the work.

We need professionals who understand proven management practices to concentrate on minimum business increments, reduce work in progress, decrease planning cycles, and improve feedback frequency. Value flow management enables improving efficiency while simultaneously reducing the cost of delays, waste, and risk.

Objectives Considered During Workshop
  • The idealized value stream
  • Building in small increments
  • Value flow planning
  • Reducing delays in the workflow
  • Making work visible
