  • Metrics Based Process Mapping w/ Philip Double

    Finding where to apply your creative thinking to either improve a process or digitize it into software can be challenging. There's often much confusion as to what the process even looks like in its entirety - confusion amongst even those who use the process daily! Yep - that happens a LOT, folks ๐Ÿ˜…

    But what if you could map out a process visualize and analyze it using plain language that brings all cross-functional skillsets together and aligned in understanding and focus?

    Joining us on this episode is Philip Double, Managing Front-end Architect with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs. Philip talks to us about how Metrics-Based Process Mapping (MBPM) is a great practice to map out a process, provide understanding for all team members and stakeholders, and highlight areas where the team can apply its creative thinking to improve the overall experience and value of the process.

    What do you mean I need to write down what it means for work to be ready and done? That's pretty obvious, isn't it Klint??
