That’s exactly the issue at many organizations: They fail to recognize the complexities of effective project management and focus only on doing the “mad scramble,” where individuals and groups operate independently to change out packaging fast on the line.
To go fast, organizations must step back and assess the cross-functional development process from end to end. Process mapping is a tool to determine who is involved, when they are engaged, what activities and value are provided, and how much time it takes for each task. Once mapped, organizations realize there are many process loops, redundancies, and unnecessary parties in the process.
