Who it is for

Change leads and enterprise coaches mapping delivery across departments rather than inside one team.

How it works

  1. Create a session from a preset, then name the focus, the problem you are chasing and the facilitator.
  2. Build streams and steps with owners, lead times, handovers and dependencies, and run the ten-question interview flow into the map.
  3. Log friction with a severity, then read the health score, the bottleneck concentration and the single points of failure, and export CSV or JSON.

Questions

How is the health score made?
It starts at one hundred and loses points for missing lead times, for a bottleneck holding too much of the total time, and for logged friction weighted by severity. Seventy and above is healthy, forty and above is watch.
Can several people work on one map?
A session belongs to the person who made it. Interviews are entered by the facilitator, so the map stays one considered account rather than a shared scratchpad.
What comes out?
CSV for stream health, friction and opportunities, and a JSON export of the whole session that can be imported again as a new session.
