SAFe® Value Stream Mapping Software

Streamline SAFe® practices to get the insights you need to transform the way value is delivered

How SAFe applies value stream mapping to its framework?

SAFe, which stands for Scaled Agile Framework, emphasizes the importance of understanding and optimizing value streams within an organization to deliver value to customers efficiently. A value stream map (VSM) is a crucial tool used within SAFe to visualize and analyze the flow of work and information as it moves through various stages from idea to delivery.

Data-Driven Decisions

Gather and analyze data from across your software delivery lifecycle. By capturing and tracking key metrics and KPIs related to value streams, you gain valuable insights into processes and performance. This data-driven approach empowers you and your teams to make informed decisions, prioritize initiatives, and drive continuous improvement efforts effectively.
