How to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Streams to your organization Please join us on Wednesday February 24 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes how to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Stream to your organization. In this interactive session we will focus on an exciting aspect of the process of implementing a scaled agile approach. How to build those "Teams of Teams" that Scaled Agile approaches such as SAFe(tm) talk about. We will quickly review the purpose of the Agile Release Train and Value Stream constructs, understand ART/VS design considerations, and then work on a couple of case studies/exercises to see what the ART/VS design should look like. NOTE: Yuval will bring some of his interesting case studies. AND If you are thinking about implementing a scaled agile approach yourself and trying to figure out ART/VS design, we would love to do a live case study in the session. You will get free expert consulting as well as the wisdom of the crowds to give you some potentially useful ideas!

What is a Value Stream?

the customer
- It includes the whole sequence, from concept or Customer
