Value Stream Map

Wise Software Corp's software development process includes several steps with a total cycle time of 39 days and a lead time of 52 days. Identified bottlenecks include delays in requirements gathering, long review times in design, and testing overlaps, which can be improved through better communication, reducing approval bottlenecks, and automating testing. Proposed changes could reduce lead time to 46 days and increase Process Cycle Efficiency from 75% to 85%.

2. Bottlenecks & Areas for Improvement

 Delays in Requirements Gathering (2-day delay): Improve client communication &


documentation.
 Long Review & Approval Times in Design (3-day delay): Reduce excessive approvals.
 Testing Overlap (2-day delay): Automate regression testing.

3. Proposed Improvements & New PCE Calculation

Improvement Impact on Process


Streamline client communication Reduce Requirements lead time from 7 to 5 days
Reduce approval bottlenecks in design Reduce Design lead time from 10 to 8 days
Automate testing processes Reduce Testing lead time from 12 to 9 days

New Lead Time: 46 days


New PCE Calculation:

4. Conclusion
By implementing these improvements, Wise Software Corp can increase its Process Cycle
Efficiency from 75% to 85%, reducing overall lead time and improving workflow efficiency.
