CONTEXT

Why the map comes before the first diagram

The most common mistake at the start

Many teams start with the process that hurts most and model it thoroughly. Six months later there are eleven thorough diagrams, but nobody can say how many processes the company actually has. The map reverses that order, setting the frame first and going deep second.

Why planned processes belong on the map

Most processes on this map carry only a name and a description. That is deliberate. A map where everything looks finished is either polished up or the result of two years of work. What is still open shows what lies ahead, and that is exactly what an audit and a management review need to see.
