**Future State Mapping** is a way of enabling better flow by visualizing a desired target state and identifying gaps between it and your current state.
A future state map (FSM) follows the same structure as a [current state map](Current%20State%20Map.md).
- A FSM depicts an intended future state for the value stream rather than the current state.
- It is annotated with the improvement opportunities required to get to that future state.
## Future state mapping steps

1. Review the target outcome and findings from previous maps.
2. Identify targets for improvement.
3. Redesign the stream.
4. Measure the future state.
