Explanation

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean technique with four core steps: (1) Define the current state, (2) Collect data, (3) Depict the future state, and (4) Develop an implementation plan. 'Amplify Learning' is NOT a VSM step - it is one of the seven principles of Lean Software Development (Poppendieck). It is a common distractor because Lean and VSM are related, but they are distinct concepts.
