Value Stream Management for the Digital Age

January 27, 2022 | View Flyer | Register to Attend

Abstract:
value-stream-mgmtCompanies that implement Value Stream Management have seen extraordinary business improvements in car manufacturing, software, financial, and medical industries. Despite the benefits, studies show that very few companies have truly implemented value stream thinking, principles, and practices to their Agile Teams and Agile Release Trains, especially when it comes to software and systems development.

In this talk, Richard Knaster, Keynote Speaker, Author, and SAFe Fellow, provides the latest thinking from his new eBook on Value Stream Management for the Digital Age.
