Common Challenges in Process Mapping

Process managers face a unique set of challenges in process mapping. Here's a breakdown of their common pain points:

1. Capturing information accurately

Fragmented knowledge: Knowledge about processes often resides with individuals, making it difficult to compile a complete and accurate process map.
Evolving processes: Processes can change over time, leading to discrepancies between documented procedures and actual practices.

2. Choosing the right approach

Overwhelming method choices: With numerous process mapping techniques available (e.g., BPMN, SIPOC, VSM), selecting the most appropriate method can be challenging.
Balancing detail and simplicity: Finding the right balance between a detailed process map and one that is overly complex can be difficult, leading to models that are either too simplistic or too cumbersome.

3. Maintaining up-to-date models

Process drift: As business requirements evolve, documented processes can become outdated if not regularly reviewed and updated.
Resource constraints: Process managers often lack the time or resources to continually update and maintain process documentation.

4. Effective communication and collaboration

Siloed information: Process information may be documented in separate systems, making it hard for teams to access and collaborate effectively.
Lack of stakeholder involvement: Engaging all relevant stakeholders in the process mapping and improvement efforts can be challenging, affecting the quality and acceptance of the process charts.

How to Create a Process Map in BIC Process Design

1. Identify the process
Determine the process you want to map and gather input from all stakeholders. This ensures that every crucial detail is captured.

2. Create a process map
Select the appropriate diagram type (e.g., BPMN, EPC, VCD) and effortlessly drag & drop objects from the symbol palette into the editor. Based on established process mapping rules, BIC Process Design shows only the symbols relevant to your next modeling step, ensuring streamlined accuracy. And for an even faster, smarter experience: use the AI-Modeler in BIC Process Design to generate entire process landscapes in mere seconds.

3. Format and refine
Organize your map using pools, lanes, and color coding to clarify roles and tasks. This helps make the process easier to understand.

4. Analyze, share, and improve
Share the process map with stakeholders, along with easily digestible alternative views like the RACI matrix or a digital checklist, to identify optimization opportunities. Update and refine the map based on feedback, then publish and monitor it for continuous improvements.
