Business Process Mapping
A Strategic Visualization Approach
What Is Business Process Mapping?
Business process mapping, also known as process modeling, visually represents the tasks and workflows within your business.
Each step is illustrated as a simple shape, making it easy to understand and analyze the complexities of your current operations.
This mapping is often the first step toward improving efficiency. By capturing processes visually, you can document valuable knowledge that might otherwise remain in your team’s minds.
What Is Business Process Documentation?
Business process documentation encompasses all records and materials that describe your business workflows—not just process maps.
This includes:
- Policies
- Checklists
- Work instructions
- Templates
- Forms
Why Create Business Process Maps?
Capturing the knowledge held by your team is often the first step to scaling and optimizing your business. Process mapping simplifies this and ensures workflows are efficient, saving both time and money.
Clear, well-documented processes create a solid foundation for scaling, improving, and simplifying operations.
