  • Multi-tasking, starting work but not getting it to done
  • 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
