Process mapping is a well-known technique for creating a common vision and shared language for improving business results. The goals of process mapping are clear and straightforward.

What does process mapping involve?

• Rigorously define the structure of a process (or subprocess)
Taking into consideration the activities that are performed, the outputs they produce, the inputs they require and the standards under which they operate.

• Identify and characterise the needs of the stakeholders of the process
This includes customers, suppliers, and resource providers. Their relationship to the process must be determined

• Clarify exactly how the process works
This is often different from how participants think or believe it works.

• Document known problems, issues, deficiencies, and defects
Identify all issues with respect to organisational structure, process operation, and output products and services.
