A software company is about to start a value stream mapping workshop for its product delivery flow. The facilitator wants to ensure the workshop produces a clear picture of the current flow and identifies improvement opportunities. Which sequence of steps should the facilitator follow?

Assign a value stream owner to draw the map based on their knowledge of the process.

Collect data on cycle time for each team, then ask the teams to estimate their lead time without observing the flow.

Define the value stream boundaries, walk the actual flow, collect data on lead time and cycle time, and draw the current-state map.

Draw the future-state map first, then work backward to identify the steps needed to achieve it.

In value stream management, what is the primary responsibility of team members?

Executing the work and collaborating to improve flow

Defining the acceptance criteria for all features

Approving the budget for the value stream

Setting the strategic vision for the organization

A company has two value streams: one for product development and one for customer support. The product development value stream has a lead time of 60 days and a cycle time of 20 days. The customer support value stream has a lead time of 2 days and a cycle time of 1 day. The company wants to improve flow across both value streams. Which approach is most appropriate?

Apply the same improvement strategy to both value streams since they are both value streams.

Focus only on the product development value stream because it has a longer lead time.

Analyze each value stream separately to identify its unique bottlenecks and improvement opportunities.

Combine both value streams into one to simplify management.
