SAFe Value Stream and ART Identification WorkshopOrganize for value
Before launching an Agile Release Train (ART), enterprise stakeholders need to work together to identify Value Streams, define ARTs, and define the necessary steps for the first ART launch.
The SAFe® Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop Toolkit provides the resources an SPC4 needs to facilitate a Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop. The workshop presents a structured, proven approach for collaborating with stakeholders to define Value Streams and ARTs.
The workshop helps stakeholders optimize their design by considering coordination requirements, dependencies, Epic distribution, and organizational change impact. This workshop is often run immediately following a Leading SAFe® course attended by key stakeholders. After the Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop is complete, the SAFe® Program Increment Toolkit can be used to prepare for the first ART launch.
The Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop toolkit includes a PowerPoint briefing with collaborative exercises. The toolkit also contains supporting materials to define Development Value Streams and ARTs, and support ART Validation testing.
