Why process management belongs at the start of improvement
Before a project changes a workflow, it helps to understand how that workflow actually runs.
Make the current state visible
Map the steps, people, decisions and exceptions that make up the process. This reveals where the stated procedure differs from day-to-day work and where a project should focus.
Align people and technology
A shared process view gives business and technology teams a common language. It helps them define ownership, identify the information needed at each step and test whether a proposed change addresses the underlying issue.
Build a workable next step
Start with one important process, an agreed outcome and a way to review the change. Improvement becomes easier to sustain when the people who perform the work help validate the design.
