Value Stream Management (VSM) has evolved beyond isolated mapping exercises into an essential discipline for orchestrating continuous flow and measuring true business value. To reflect how high-performing digital organizations operate today, the Value Stream Management Foundation course has undergone a major update.
Join this session for a tour of the updated VSM Foundation curriculum. We will explore the shift to an implementation-led roadmap—taking practitioners step-by-step through assessing, organizing, connecting, and continuously adapting digital value streams. Discover how modern practices, from Flow Engineering and team topologies to AI-enabled mapping and unified data models, are incorporated to help teams eliminate friction and turn insights into measurable outcomes.
Whether you are looking to upskill your teams, expand your coaching toolkit, or ground your delivery pipelines in real-time flow intelligence, this webinar will walk you through the key changes in the course and show you how to apply these updated concepts directly to your organization.
Key Takeaways
- The Implementation Roadmap: Learn how the curriculum is re-sequenced around an eight-stage journey (Assess, Vision, Identify, Organize, Map, Connect, Inspect, Adapt) to guide organizations from current-state baselining to sustainable evolution.
- Duality of Flow and Value Realization: Understand how modern metrics frameworks—including Lean, DORA, SPACE, and flow metrics—align with OKRs and benefits hypotheses to balance delivery speed with business outcomes.
- Modern Mapping and Flow Engineering: Discover what is new in mapping practices, including AI-assisted mapping tools, Flow Engineering techniques, and the critical distinction between one-off mapping and ongoing management.
- Toolchains and Value Stream Intelligence: Explore how connecting DevOps toolchains through common data models and platforms surfaces real-time insights for continuous inspection and empirical adaptation.
