Your Teams Are Busy. That's Not the Same as Fast.
Traditional metrics measure activity, not flow. This half-day AI-Native ValueOps Diagnostic uses AI analytics, including platforms like nVeris, plus ICON coaching expertise to map what's actually happening across one or more value streams: the handoffs, the rework loops, the approval delays nobody put on a dashboard.
What You Get
Invisible Delays, Revealed
Surface systemic constraints that traditional metrics miss entirely.
Same-Session Action
Walk out with backlog-ready improvement items, not a report to schedule a follow-up on.
Executive Alignment
Build immediate social proof around measurable flow gains everyone in the room can see.
A Path to Scale
Feeds directly into full value stream restructuring or an AI-augmented operating model.
The Problems This Solves
- Teams stay busy while outcomes still lag behind.
- Hidden rework and approval loops nobody has mapped.
- Fragmented visibility across ARTs, business, and operations.
- No way to quantify what current flow inefficiencies actually cost.
Tools Required
nVeris or equivalent AI analytics, plus any existing ALM data from Rally, Jira, or similar tools. ICON handles configuration and analysis end to end.
What Happens
Activities
Pre-session data intake, a facilitated diagnostic with leadership, product, and ops stakeholders, real-time AI flow mapping, and collaborative identification of high-leverage constraints.
Deliverables
An AI-generated flow snapshot and visual map, quantified bottleneck analysis, backlog-ready improvement items, and a recommended next-step roadmap.
Real Data, Not Anecdotes
This diagnostic is run by the same SPCT-certified coaches who have guided 40% of the Fortune 100 through value stream work. You get a read on your flow that holds up in an executive review, not a gut-feel opinion.

Yes, because we don't start from zero. AI analytics platforms like nVeris process your ALM data before the session, so the room spends its time interpreting real bottleneck data and deciding what to fix, not gathering it.
Existing ALM data from tools like Rally or Jira, plus access to the value stream you want mapped. We handle configuration and analysis; you don't need a data team to prepare anything special.
You leave with a flow snapshot, a quantified bottleneck analysis, and improvement items that are already backlog-ready for your next PI Planning event. Most clients act on at least one finding within the same iteration.
Yes. Organizations with multiple ARTs often run the diagnostic across two or three value streams in the same engagement to compare where friction is worst before deciding where to focus first.
