      • Value Streams let you see the big picture and your biggest bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities.

      • A Value Stream Map lets to share that view with others and align on what to do next.
      • A map should be simple to start (you can always add more data if you want) – avoid heavy/complex approaches.
      • People are the most important part. Facilitation, handoffs, incentives, psychological safety are major factors.
