Workshop Description

From Project Management to Value Delivery Management

Delivering value continues to increase in complexity and is driven more than ever by digital transformations. The result is a growing emphasis on dependency management and coordination - but that will only get you so far. As organizations realize the benefits of improving their value streams, PMOs and Project Professionals need to pivot from focusing on the project or scope to the value delivered.

This workshop introduces value stream management principles, strategies, and practices. You will learn the foundations of a crucial emerging skillset that leverages existing skills and experience of project professionals to focus on improving the flow of value delivered to customers, whether internal or external.

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.

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