Change Mapping: Understanding Context and Improving Practices

Change Mapping is a technique that helps analyze practices within a team or organization to understand context and make better decisions for improvement. It focuses on identifying routines and visualizing the flow of information and relationships between practices. By zooming out and clustering practices, teams can optimize workflow and remove bottlenecks. It emphasizes the importance of sustained changes in practice rather than just changing mindsets. By understanding the purpose and context, practices can be aligned to deliver value and improve overall flow.
