Flow Engineering workshops

Map the value stream with the whole room.

ValueFlow runs value stream mapping as a live workshop: one shared board, everyone’s phone, a facilitator setting the pace — and the flow metrics worked out for you as you go.

  • No participant accounts
  • Works on any phone
  • Survives conference-room wifi

Joining a workshop?

Enter the 6-character code on the screen. No account needed.

Beyond sticky notes

The flow metrics work themselves out.

As the room fills in process and wait times, ValueFlow keeps total lead time, activity ratio and rolled %C/A up to date on every screen. It counts honestly, too: unknowns stay unknown instead of quietly becoming zeros, and rolled figures only appear once every step has an estimate.

The ValueFlow big screen at the metrics stage: a seven-step delivery stream with per-step process and wait times, the constraint marked on code review, and a lead time of 5 days 19 hours at a 15.4% activity ratio.

Built for the room

Everything the workshop needs. Nothing to install.

  • Phones first, no accounts

    Participants join with a code and a display name — nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Every stage gets a surface designed for a phone, not a whiteboard pinched down to fit.

  • A guided script

    Seven stages take the room from framing the stream to debrief. Every screen follows the facilitator, and a shared timer keeps the pace honest.

  • Estimates without anchoring

    Timings are estimated privately, poker-style, and nothing is revealed until everyone has answered. The room sees the median — never who said what.

  • Vote on the constraint

    Dot-vote where the work really sticks. The longest lead time and the room’s judgement stay separate claims — and the board says so when they disagree.

  • Made for the big screen

    A projector view puts the room code and QR up in huge type, with live presence — so joining is a photo of the screen, not an email thread.

  • Leave with the record

    A Markdown summary, a picture of the board, and a link that outlives the room — plus a real print stylesheet for the copy that goes on the wall.

How a workshop runs

  1. Open a room

    A facilitator opens a session and puts the room code on the big screen.

  2. Everyone joins

    The group joins from their phones with that code — no account, no install.

  3. Map it together

    The room maps the value stream one stage at a time, and leaves with the record.

Run your first workshop.

Open a room, put the code on the screen, and map the stream you actually have — the whole exercise fits in one meeting.
