Accelerating Time to Value with Value Stream Management and Lean-Agile

Accelerating Your Organization’s Time to Value with Value Stream Management 

Much of the focus over the past decade and a half has been on the implementation of Lean-Agile Ways of Working (WoW) within organizations. The intent and hope of these efforts is that by adopting these new ways of working that organizations would realize the benefits of improved value delivery resulting in better products and services that delight customers, engage employees and, ideally, increase profits.

Digital. ai's annual State of Agile report does an excellent job of capturing the current state of Agile and future trends. We will reference The 17th State of Agile Report a few more times in this post and I encourage you to review it in its entirety. The screenshot below lists the top reasons organizations choose to adopt Agile from page 12 of the report. See Figure 1. You can see that the top two reasons are tied at 41%:

  • 41% - Prioritize, deliver, and measure incremental customer and business value

  • 41% - Accelerate time to Market

Let us zoom in on the issue of organizations unhappy with Agile adoption rates (pg. 16 of the report). See Figure 2 next.
