+about: "First step for a new project — map the current process and set value stream goals."
+title: "Define value stream goals"
+labels: ["setup", "planning"]
+assignees: ""
+---
+
+## Task
+
+Produce the **current state** value stream map (and future state, if the target process is
+already known) for this project, using
+[`docs/value-stream-mapping/value_stream_map_template.odp`](../../docs/value-stream-mapping/value_stream_map_template.odp).
+
+## Steps
+
+- [ ] Identify the process boundaries: where does the value stream start and end?
+- [ ] Walk the current process step by step with the people who actually do the work
+- [ ] Fill in the current state map: process steps, cycle time, wait time, %C&A, inventory
+      between steps
+- [ ] Calculate total lead time and total cycle time
+- [ ] Identify bottlenecks, waste, and improvement opportunities
+- [ ] Draft the future state map reflecting the target process
+- [ ] Record improvement actions with an owner and a due date
+- [ ] Summarize headline metrics and actions on the
+      [Value Stream Mapping wiki page](../../wiki/Value-Stream-Mapping.md)
+- [ ] Share the map with stakeholders for feedback
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- [ ] Current (and, if applicable, future) state maps are complete in the `.odp` file
+- [ ] Metrics and action items are summarized on the wiki page
+- [ ] Stakeholders have reviewed the map
+- [ ] Findings feed into the [project specification issue](02-write-project-specification.md)
