Problems We Are Solving

- Role specialization and confusion, ‘not my task’ thinking
- Lack of predictability and learning, catching failure too late
Desired Outcomes
- Shift from a plan-driven to a value-driven organization, measured by delivery of business value
- Cross-functional stable teams eliminate waste caused by multi-tasking and high work in progress (WIP), measured by reduced cycle time
- Predictable delivery of value through defined planning and execution cadences across teams, measured by increase in predictability and customer confidence
