Value stream mapping on the parks reservation and facility ART shows work sitting idle for weeks after development is marked complete. What should the RTE treat those waits as?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The picnic shelter is built, then it sits in a lot for weeks waiting for a stamp. That wait is the pipeline, not the carpentry. Long post-dev idle time is a CDP and DevOps flow problem the parks ART can actually attack.
Full Explanation
Long wait states after development is complete are classic Continuous Delivery Pipeline and DevOps flow problems: handoffs, manual environments, approval queues, and rare deployment. Value stream mapping on a parks reservation ART makes those delays visible so the RTE can coach improvement. Longer stories, yearly waterfall freezes, and dismissing the waits as normal government cycle time do not shorten post-dev idle time. The RTE treats the map as a CDP improvement signal.
