What you get: A filled value stream worksheet (template TM-30): four to eight stages, owners, pain points and the capabilities each stage leans on.

- Written for the Blueprint Catalog, my free capability catalog; every path, tool and id it names is checked against each catalog build.
- Uses each stage's domain events as the test of a stage boundary.
