Nice job! I like how you laid everything out and tied it all together.

This may be outside the scope of this work, but are there any resources on learning how to solve some of these issues?

I like the Lean Software books by Mary and Tom Poppendieck. There are a few of them, they cover similar ground to each other but from different perspectives (talking about what it is, versus how to apply it as a manager, etc.). "Waste" is a critical concept to Lean in general and they've done a good job of applying it to software. All their books (I think) are available through O'Reilly.

I would recommend this free chapter from the book Rethinking Productivity in Software Engineering https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332916053_Removing_... which describes a workshop to identify and remove wastes. The whole book is open and fun to read.

I highly recommend the book Principles of Product Development Flow. It's a bit dense and very dry, so take your time with it.
