How to get value from your Wall Map
The eVSM software was first released in 2002, a few years after the book "Learning To See", as a means of capturing the wall value stream maps advocated by the book. Over the last 15 years it has gone through a significant transformation to fulfill its mission in serving the lean practitioner community.
