The 5 flow metrics (How to measure flow items) * Flow Distribution (how much of each type of flow item) * Flow Velocity (how much stuff total) * Flow Time (cycle time) * Flow Load (WIP) * Flow Efficiency 

Product Modeling Aggregating data from multiple tools (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, Trello, VersionOne, etc.) into a single view of value flowing through the value stream network. Creates one unified view of product status fof senior leaders.

12:58 | How to set targets for flow items relative to each other

17:17 | Support:  Should product teams do it, or separate support teams?

24:53 | Estimation of defects * How to plan for the proper level of defect flow?

31:03 | Should you assess estimated effort vs. actual effort?

33:15 | What if defects overwhelm the system? * The relationship between defect flow items and debt flow items.

35:00 | What elements go into an estimation? * Effort, risk, complexity, etc. (Not time.) * Whole-team estimate, not individual estimates for roles added up.
