Within Lean-based agile approaches, which technique is specifically employed to map the current and future states of material and information flow across a process so that waste can be identified and removed?
Value Stream Mapping is a core Lean tool that visually depicts every step-both information and material-needed to deliver a product or service. By comparing the current and future states, teams can pinpoint bottlenecks and non-value-adding activities and then design improvements.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Ishikawa (Fishbone) Diagram: Used for root-cause analysis of a specific problem, not for end-to-end flow mapping.
Kanban Board: A visual management board for limiting WIP and managing flow, but it does not document the entire value stream.
MoSCoW Prioritization: A requirement-prioritization technique (Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, Won't-have) and not a mapping tool.
