Delivery

An agile practitioner is working on a project to migrate data from computer systems to a different location. To complete this task, four activities must be performed sequentially by different teams. The teams are migrating two systems per day, but the agile practitioner believes that three systems should be completed per day.

What can be done to improve process efficiency?

  • A Use burndown charts to find gaps, delays, and constraints in the current process and develop a plan to reduce or remove them.
  • B Use value stream mapping to find gaps, delays, and constraints in the current process and develop a plan to reduce or remove them.
  • C Use Pareto analysis to find gaps, delays, and constraints in the current process and develop a plan to reduce or remove them.
  • D Use root cause analysis to find gaps, delays, and constraints in the current process and develop a plan to reduce or remove them.
Explanation

Value stream mapping visualizes the complete end-to-end flow across teams, including process steps, handoffs, cycle times, and delays. It enables identification of waste and bottlenecks in the current state and supports a future-state improvement plan that increases throughput. The Lean Enterprise Institute describes value stream mapping as a continuous-improvement tool for identifying and eliminating waste across the full material and information flow.
