Course Description
Defining boundaries between teams to maximise autonomy is tough. And then there are the alignment, governance and funding challenges. We share techniques and strategies for structuring aligned autonomous Stream Teams.
What you'll learn
- Mapping Value Streams
- Master techniques for breaking down complex processes into autonomous, yet valuable, value streams.
- Identifying Stream Boundaries
- The real world is complicated and doesn't fit neatly into buckets. This can make defining value stream boundaries challenging. Learn how to do it.
- Defining Success Metrics
- Long-lived, autonomous teams are expensive. We need to ensure that they are delivering value. Learn how to define and track success metrics for value streams.
- Funding and Governance
- Long-lived teams are funded to achieve goals. This means that time and cost are fixed, but scope is flexible. We need new funding and governance approaches to accommodate this.
- Team Assignment
- How many people should be on each team? How do you allocate people to teams? We discuss strategies for team allocation.
- Continuous Assessment
- Setting up stream teams is not a one-time event. We need to continuously assess and adjust the scope and funding of teams.
- Growth Management
- Successful products grow, increasing the demands on teams. We discuss strategies for scaling teams over time without increasing bureaucracy.

Implementing ZeroBlockers
Trying to make such wide-ranging changes across the entire organisation is a recipe for disaster. You need to start small, learn and adapt. We show you how to roll out the ZeroBlockers framework in your organisation.
