Explanation
Understanding the full Value Stream is precisely what enables you to identify and focus on delays - because you cannot address what you cannot see. A Value Stream map visualizes every step from customer request to delivery, making wait times, handoffs, and bottlenecks visible that would otherwise remain hidden within individual silos. Option B is wrong because without the complete picture, teams tend to optimize local steps while ignoring the systemic delays that cause the most waste.
Memory tip: Think of a Value Stream like a river - you need to see the entire river (end-to-end) to find where the flow is blocked, not just your section of the bank.
