I've used Visio at work for years and never really paid attention to the "version" that we had.  New job...new computer...put in a request for Visio and finally got it approved and installed.  Turns out they purchased Visio 2016 Standard.  I am only using it for Process Flow Maps and Value Stream Maps.

Is it accurate that the Standard version doesn't included the VSM stencil?  When I click "Create New" I see Value Stream Map as an available template, but get nothing when I search in the shapes/stencils.

Any works around?  Suggestions for a solution?

Hi Dante,

I'm using Visio Pro/Office 365 2019 (or whatever it's called). The Value Stream shapes are located under: More Shapes > Business > Business Process > Value Stream Map Shapes.

They also showed up in shape search. If you don't see them, then either Visio 2016 Standard doesn't include them, or they were in a different location.

I figured we should at least start by double-checking if they're there!
