One of the big problems in business, and digital product delivery today, is that we all have a mountain of issues to deal with and it’s really hard to figure out where to get started.

Value stream management (VSM) offers a solution to this. By orientating your organization to your customer, everything starts to make sense: shorter and better feedback on your decisions, less work for work’s sake and better connectivity from idea to value realization.
