This step creates a testable baseline for team design. It connects value streams to measurable outcomes and exposes where decision rights or dependencies need clarification.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
Mapping value streams and outcome ownership shows how work flows toward a user or business outcome and who is accountable for that outcome.
In 2013 Spotify described assigning squads to product areas and responsibilities. This suggests an analysis practice that must be adapted to other organizations.
Draw the path from user need through decisions and systems to outcome. Assign clear outcome accountability to each segment and mark handoffs, shared platforms, and missing decisions. Then inspect whether team boundaries support the value stream.
The sequence of activities that turns a need into a usable outcome.
Clear accountability for impact and outcome, rather than only for deliverables.
A transfer of work, information, or decision between participants.
The map helps reveal ownership gaps and unnecessary handoffs. It is a diagnostic and design aid; a diagram alone changes neither accountability nor flow.
