Value Stream Management & SAFe
Improve Flow of Value to Customers
NTT DATA believes that the future growth of OUR customers lies in safely increasing the flow of value to THEIR customers. To accomplish this we baseline the flow of value and identify systemic impediments and bottlenecks. Our team of experts can then address these issues pulling from our deep experience in Agile, Devops, SAFe®, Project to Product alignment and Value Stream Management to improve organizational flow and measure those improvements. This approach is radically different from our competition as it’s 1) based in objective data 2) changes only the parts of the organization that are necessary for unlocking flow 3) provides measurable improvement documenting in near real time the impact of the transformation.
