Value Stream Mapping Tool

Value Stream Mapping Tool

A pure client-side web site to quickly generate value stream maps. Tested on Chrome 60.0.3112.101 running on Mac.
Published to https://bendalby82.github.io/valuestream/

Usage Notes

1. Set the box color to any valid hex value, and the font box to a suitable web value
2. Use the 'Tab' key to step through the table. When you leave the final cell in the final row, a new row will be added
3. The 'Value Stream as Code' textbox will be dynamically updated as you change the table
4. The 'Value Stream as Code' textbox can also be edited directly - this reverses the flow so that table will update to reflect your changes when you leave the textbox
5. 'Save as PNG' will open a new tab with a 'Save As' dialog for a PNG version of the Value Stream Map

Future

1. Migrate to Raphaël to generate cross-browser images
2. Specify 'width' of map, with digram 'wrapping' to a new line after 'x' boxes
3. Compare map to previous map, and indicate trends
4. Break image generation out into headless service, so that diagrams can be generated via an API

valuestream's Issues

Too much white space to the right of image

The image width calculation needs to be improved - currently there is too much white space to the right.

Final arrow head has different style to others

The right-most arrow head is open.
All other arrow heads are filled in with the same colour as the boxes.
This needs to be made consistent.
