Inputs for the Value Stream Conference
A Value Stream Conference harmonizes several tactical contributions into one Value Stream Roadmap. It needs strategic demand, real capacity and cross-cutting foundations before it can make useful trade-off decisions.
Three streams
What must be prepared before the Value Stream Conference.
Portfolio inputs
Incoming Epic roadmaps, outcomes, milestones, windows and priorities create the demand view.
Tactical unit inputs
Solution Trains and Release Trains bring contribution forecasts, capacity, KTLO and restrictions.
Cross-cutting inputs
Architecture, infrastructure, DevOps, security, compliance and migrations become visible.
Conference question
What does the portfolio concretely expect from the value stream?
The conference should not negotiate in the air. It needs enough prepared demand, capacity and system context to decide which contributions are realistic and which conditions must change.
