Process mapping involves creating diagrams, often represented as flowcharts or process maps.
These 'maps' outline the sequence of steps of a given process that is followed to complete a task or achieve a goal.
Process Mapping Example
A process map allows teams to easily visualize, compare and explain how their organization really works.

Benefits of Process Mapping
A good process map shows what executions are happening in which order. Where the executions are either not being completed, or are erroneous.
This visualization provides a universal truth regarding how the mapped process really works. This way, teams and their leaders can better understand understand workflows, find inefficiencies, and make improvements.
