Intro to Value Stream Mapping for Leaders
Today we're generating more code than ever, but most teams aren't converting it into shipped, working, high-quality software. Delivering software is rarely a one-team activity—it's multiple teams coordinating, and most companies lack a practice to fix this systemic problem. Value Stream Mapping does exactly that. In this hands-on workshop, you'll map a real delivery workflow, measure the handovers, and leave with a prioritized plan to ship faster without sacrificing quality.
In this hands-on session, you'll map and measure a real delivery workflow, identify bottlenecks, and apply lean principles to improve your delivery's speed and quality. The workshop distills 10+ hours of mapping exercises and two years of mapping experience into a practical, do-it-yourself format. Come with a delivery process in mind; leave with a concrete map and an action plan.

I'm a Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience and a background in DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, Data Engineering, and Analytics, in large organizations, startups, and a nonprofit.
In 2025, I launched my consulting practice and built a community for engineering leaders (Berlin VSM), 280+ members strong.
I live in Berlin, but I’m from Lisbon. I love the sun and Portuguese food, my dog, and Kickboxing, which I’ve been practicing for 11 years.
