Optimise enterprise-wide value streams
The Disciplined Agile Value Stream Consultant course folds practices from Flow, Lean, Theory of Constraints, and Organisational Development into the Disciplined Agile toolkit to give practitioners the tools to optimise value streams at enterprise scale.
Filled with collaborative activities, supplemental reading, and applied exercises, this 21 PDU instructor-led course goes beyond a single framework by teaching the mindset, practices, and tools to reduce waste and focus on what matters. Attendees learn to determine the best place for an organisation to start, tailor an improvement plan based on unique needs and culture, and accelerate the realisation of customer value at scale.
Delivered by Laurence Wood, Senior Agile Trainer and Leadership Coach, the course is designed for experienced practitioners who want to specialise in value stream consulting and enterprise-level agile transformation.
