Systemic Flow Mapping

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Systemic Flow Mapping is a technique for visualising organisation-wide flow, bottlenecks, and constraints across multiple delivery teams and departmental boundaries. Its aim is to provide enlightenment into wasteful, inefficient, and stressful workplaces helping to inform and shape organisational change using Kanban. Systemic Flow Mapping facilitates the implementation of Kanban at scale showing the negative systemic impact of local optimisation and provides insight into the wider implications and decisions in organisational structure and flow.
