How to Create a Process Map with Creately’s Process Mapping Software?
Define the purpose and scope of the process map
Identify the process that needs to be mapped. It could be a process that is underperforming or is failing to generate the intended outcome.
Gather a cross-functional team to work on the map
Put together a team. This team should include members from all areas of the organization involved in managing and carrying out the process.
Hold a kick-off meeting
Hold a kick-off meeting to discuss the purpose and scope of the map. Assign roles and responsibilities for the team members.
Use Creatley process mapping software’s integrations with Microsoft Teams to carry out dynamic discussion and to bring all team members to one platform. Keep track of the assigned tasks via the task panel and through smart notifications.
Carry out a process walk-through
Once the initial meeting is completed and team members know their respective role, physically walks through the process and documents each step. Each team member should observe, interview and take notes. Bring all observations, information and notes together to one workspace.
Use the notes panel, sticky notes and shapes to include data. Share a common workspace via link invites or through emails. Provide necessary access and assign roles to manage.
Create a draft of the map
Using Creately process mapping software’s freehand drawing feature, with the team quickly sketch out a rough outline of the process marking where it begins and ends, the steps in between, the inputs and outputs of the process, and who is responsible for the steps.
Enable Creately’s flowchart library and start drawing the map while arranging the identified process steps in sequential order. This is the current state process map. Use full version history to keep track of changes and revert back to an earlier version if needed.
Review and validate the map
Review and validate the map with all stakeholders involved in the process. Going beyond, together with the team, start to identify the inefficiencies and bottlenecks within the process. Are there any steps that should be eliminated or improved?
Create a future-state process map
Create a future-state process map showing the changes that need to be applied to improve the process. Implement the improvements on a smaller scale at first. If they work better, you can apply it on a larger scale.
Finalize and implement
Finalize the map together with all stakeholders and implement. Assign roles and tasks to respective departments and team members. Use Creately to keep track of the tasks assigned and the progress.
Don’t forget to continuously review and update the map as the process evolves over time.
