About the exam

Understanding value streams is one thing. Designing an operating model around them, and keeping it working as the organisation changes, is another. The Practitioner Exam is for the people doing exactly that. It tests applied expertise: how you reason across the seven core elements of a value stream operating model, the trade-offs you make when they pull against each other, and how you diagnose and fix a model that is underperforming. This is the credential for practitioners who want their applied skill recognised, not just their familiarity with the language. It suits transformation and operating-model leads, enterprise and solution architects, product and delivery leaders, and coaches who are actively shaping how organisations deliver value, and who want a professional standard to point to. How it works Prepare with the Body of Knowledge and your own practice applying value stream thinking. Sit the exam online: 102 questions in 90 minutes, mixing multiple choice and multiple select. Score 60% or above to earn your certificate and digital badge. Prerequisite: you must hold the Strategic Value Streams Foundation credential before sitting the Practitioner Exam.

Cameron Stewart, Founder, Strategic Value Streams

Cameron has spent more than 20 years advising organisations through complex transformations, operating model redesign, and enterprise agility. His work centres on one question: how organisations change the level of value they deliver, and how to align people, governance, funding, and architecture to make that happen. He holds an MBA and is completing a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) at the University of Exeter Business School, where his research turns two decades of practice into a rigorous, evidence-based approach to value stream operating models. Strategic Value Streams is the result: a shared language and a credible standard built to help practitioners do this work well.
