Process Mapping

Process Mapping

7 Hours

Oftentimes we think we know how work moves through a process; however, we often really only know our piece of the process. A process map makes a process visible by illustrating the flow of the work. It creates a common understanding of a process, allows for standard training and can assist with identifying areas of improvement.
