What You'll Learn

Practical tools to visualize, analyze and optimize your workflows.

In this hands-on 2-hour workshop, you'll map a delivery workflow, identify bottlenecks, and apply lean principles to improve your delivery’s effectiveness.

What is Value Stream Mapping (VSM)?

VSM is designed to help teams achieve a specific business outcome by improving work processes.

In a series of group mapping activities, teams visualize the flow of work from start to finish, identify inefficiencies, delays, and waste. The team uses what they’ve learned to create a roadmap of measurable improvement actions, in service of delivering more value to the customer.

Originally developed at Toyota in the 1940s, value stream mapping helps teams visualize workflows to eliminate waste and deliver value faster. More info.

About Miguel Dias (Independent Technology Consultant):

I’m a Software Engineer with over five years of experience, building and scaling systems for large companies, startups, and a nonprofit.

I spent 2024 leading Value Stream Mapping initiatives at Relex, a global SaaS company, involving individual teams, multiple teams, and an entire technology department.

I’ve partnered with these teams to increase revenue by onboarding customers faster, preventing service disruptions, delivering value 2x more often, and wasting less time due to misalignment and lack of clarity.

A thought leader in the Value Stream Mapping and DevOps space, I’m actively engaged with the international community, and currently launching my own consultancy in Berlin.

About Barbara Hallama (Senior Scrum Master / Agile Team Coach \| Facilitator \| DJ):

With a strong background in the international music industry, I bring a unique perspective to the Agile world. Having spent years in a field where creativity, collaboration, and adaptability are essential, I recognized striking parallels with Agile values and principles. For more than eight years, I have been working as an Agile Team Coach, taking an agnostic approach that adapts to context rather than rigid frameworks.

Throughout my career, I have supported diverse teams and organizations, consistently observing a recurring challenge: product/business and technology often remain disconnected. My work focuses on bridging this gap — coaching Product Owners, teams, and stakeholders to collaborate more effectively. I rely on practices such as Story Mapping, Event Storming, and Value Stream Mapping to foster shared understanding and alignment.

Most recently, I have expanded my skill set with Collaborative Mind Mapping, which I have deepened through ongoing learning groups. My passion lies in helping teams and organizations find harmony in their ways of working — much like orchestrating different instruments to create a coherent and powerful performance.

Logistics

The call opens at start time, and it's first-come, first-serve - the first 10 people to join get to participate! If we're at capacity when you arrive, try again next time, or reach out about booking an exclusive workshop for you and your team!

I'm choosing this approach for 2 reasons:

• What counts is whether you show up to the workshop, not how far in advance you've booked it
• Online sessions work best when they're short and small so everyone gets time to participate and ask questions

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a lean methodology that visualizes and analyzes workflows to identify inefficiencies, delays, and waste. It maps the flow of information and materials, enabling teams to optimize processes and enhance customer value. Miguel Dias explains that VSM helps teams improve onboarding, quality, and delivery frequency while reducing waste and boosting communication.
