Value Stream Mapping

Question

Hi,

I'm using PlantUML for different diagrams and I consider that it is very interesting.

At this moment, I would like to map a VSM (Value Stream Mapping) as a nice feature.

Best regards,

Max

Hi Max,

I see that Value Stream node is currently available in Archimate notation:

https://plantuml.com/archimate-diagram

You can also list all the nodes using

@startuml
listsprite
@enduml

I guess both of us need to know where we can find where the syntax for using all the ArchiMate shapes is described.

Based on the description below I tested different scenarios with no luck so far.

To define a Stakeholderelement, which is part of Motivation category, the syntax will be Motivation_Stakeholder(StakeholderElement,"Stakeholder Description").
To define a Business Service element, the syntax will be Business_Service(BService, "Business Service").

@startuml
!include <archimate/Archimate>
Strategy_Value_Stream (SVStream, "test text")
@enduml

@startuml
!include <archimate/Archimate>
Strategy_ValueStream (SVStream, "test text")
@enduml

@startuml
!include <archimate/Archimate>
Strategy_ValueStream (VStream, "test text")
@enduml

@startuml
!include <archimate/Archimate>
Value_Stream (VStream, "test text")
@enduml

@startuml
!include <archimate/Archimate>
Value_Stream (SVStream, "test text")
@enduml

I think it is not complete. At this moment I suppose that the solution would consist on creating the sprites.

For example, a link with all official icons: Value Stream Mapping Symbols | Value Stream Mapping Icons | Value Stream Mapping Template | Vsm Symbols Excel (conceptdraw.com)
