BUSINESS PROCESS MAPPING workshop @CRMUG
BPM: WHY? “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? ” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to” “I don’t much care where–” “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go, ” “–so long as I get SOMEWHERE, ” “Oh, you’re sure to do that if you only walk long enough. ” @CRMUG
BUSINESS PROCESS MAPPING § WHAT IS BUSINESS PROCESS MAPPING? § Business process mapping is a procedure whereby the steps in a business process are clarified and documented in both written form and visually in a flow chart. § Information about the process is gathered and compiled and the steps in the process are laid out from left to right and top to bottom, with specific shapes used to denote specific process components (decision points, documentation, etc. ) @CRMUG
BPM - EXAMPLES @CRMUG
BPM: INGREDIENTS 1. Often done using Visio or special BPM software 2. Swim Lanes: Define users or teams 3. Flowchart depicting: 1. major actions each user or team takes 2. Decision criteria that affects the action steps for the process 3. Data sources used in the process 4. Phases with entrance and exit criteria (vertical lines) @CRMUG
BPM: GOALS § Automation goals: ‒ Expedite flow of information from one person or team to the next ‒ Eliminate manual steps that can introduce errors § Streamlining goals: ‒ Increase efficiency ‒ Reduce redundancy § Reengineering: ‒ Reorganize teams and functions ‒ Introduce new business processes § Factors: ‒ Desired benefits ‒ Time & Money @CRMUG
LESSONS LEARNED Do § Have someone trained or hire a consultant. ‒ Someone who doesn’t know what they are doing can waste a lot of man -hours. § Listen for key words & phrases ‒ should & could ‒ I don’t know who uses that information ‒ I don’t know why § Use the “ 5 Why’s” @CRMUG Don’t § Have large meetings with management ‒ Many times they do not know how the work gets done in their areas. ‒ Subordinates are hesitant to correct wrong information § Have long meetings ‒ Brain drain ‒ Frequent but short meetings stimulate thought ‒ Time away lets people think about what they said as they do their job
