At its core, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a graphical representation of the steps involved in delivering a product or service, capturing both the value-added and non-value-added activities.

By mapping out every step in a process and the interaction between these steps, VSM offers a bird’s eye view, enabling project managers to identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and areas for improvement.

If you are looking for a clear understanding of how value is being added and where waste occurs in your workflow, be it in time, resources, or effort, this webinar is for you.
