The value of a process diagram depends on what you put into its nodes.
Do not stop at just building the shape of the diagram.
What can be set on an Execution Node
- Node Name…What is done in that step
- Description…Supplementary notes
- Effort…How long it takes
-
Task Type…One of: Decision, Routine, or Automated.
Used when considering improvements - Badge…Indicates approval, prohibition, and so on
- Assignment labels…Whose work it is
- Detailed process…Reference destination when breaking out into a separate process diagram
- Manual / Links…Teachme Biz Manuals and Outside Links
Setting Assignment labels enables Swimlanes
When you set Assignment labels, the Swimlane view lets you reorganize the diagram with "whose work it is" as the axis.
Nodes are also color-coded by assignment label, making it effective for discussing the division of roles between departments.
Set Task Type in advance
Task Type (Decision, Routine, or Automated) is used in the aggregation for improvement Reports.
Nodes that have not been set will have their content estimated by AI, but setting them in advance makes the aggregation more accurate.
Enter Effort for all Execution Nodes
When you enter Effort for all Execution Nodes, the "longest and shortest paths" in the flow view lets you compare time-consuming routes with shorter ones.
This can serve as material for improvement discussions.
Switch views when making corrections
The node list view is well suited for the work of entering information.
Since you can see Effort and whether a Manual is present in a list, it becomes easier to spot nodes with missing information.
Switch to the view that matches what you want to fix: use the flow view to correct the flow itself, and use the Swimlane view to review how assignments are divided.
