Value Streams Inventory and Attributes

Regulatory obligations bind value streams. A regulation frequently governs the way an entire end-to-end flow must be carried out — mandating controls, records, timeframes, or disclosures across the value stream. A value stream’s Regulatory Obligations attribute records the applicable regulations descriptively, and the Related Regulatory Obligations relationship attribute connects the value stream to the structured obligation register.

The Regulatory Obligations Inventory is not yet published — refer to the IF4IT Enterprise Inventory Management Best Practices document. When it is published, this relationship will let an enterprise see which value streams carry the heaviest regulatory load, which flows are exposed to a forthcoming regulatory change, and where compliance effort must be concentrated to protect value delivery.
