What is a Value Stream in Orthogramic?
...
In summary, a Value Stream in Orthogramic is not just a series of activities—it is a dynamic, data-driven framework that continuously adapts to meet organizational goals. Unlike the static, process-oriented approach of BIZBOK, Orthogramic integrates Value Streams into the wider business architecture, embedding performance metrics, leveraging automation, and fostering collaboration across departments. This modern, agile approach ensures that Value Streams are not only well-documented but also actively managed and optimized, delivering tangible value to stakeholders in a continuously changing business landscape.
