Seeing the Code: Value-Stream Mapping to Discover Purpose Buried Deep Within Legacy Code Speaker - Ged Byrne Value-Stream mapping is a well established tool used in Lean and Six Sigma. It involves identifying all the activities that contribute towards customer value, and all those who don't. This is achieved by walking the value stream and observing what is really happening, rather than what management think should be happening. Mapping the software development value stream is a key stage in adopting Kanban. This session discusses how this tool can be applied to the software itself, especially Legacy code. For a code base, what exactly is a value stream? How can we walk it? How can the results be used to drive architectural renewal?
