When was the last time you did a value stream mapping (VSM) with your team?
VSM is a lean manufacturing exercise first mentioned in the 1920s that equally applies to more modern things, such as software development.
The idea is to visually identify the different stages in your development process and visualize both value-adding and wasting activities.
You may ask: Why would we want that?
I’m sure your boss would be tickled pink to learn you can eliminate waste from the process and in return deliver value faster for less money.
