VSM Story from Flowtopia 2023: Parchment - Inspecting Value Streams

VSM adoption is gaining momentum as demonstrated by enterprise practitioners presenting how they use VSM practices and tools at Flowtopia 2023. This series dives into first-hand VSM stories from our exceptional speakers from BECU, Deutsche Telekom, Netflix, Parchment, Shutterstock, Telstra, and Unum.
