What is a Business Process?

A Business Process is a set of activities designed to produce a specific output. It is used to capture the specific ordering of work activities, including inputs, outputs, triggers and actions. These Business Process templates will help you to:

• Introduce the process and outline its purpose, goal, and outcomes
• Identify the fundamental assumptions behind this process. For example, what assumptions does the process audience have in relation to this process and how does the process support those assumptions
• Identify where and how the process interfaces with other processes or whether it is a component or sub-components of other processes
• Use Visio flowcharts to illustrate process activities, including inputs and outputs, decision points and user activity
• Identify data to be collected, such as reports, forms, and policies
• Identify reporting requirements associated with the performance of the process and the format it must be delivered in
• Identify the audience, role, and individuals who will use the process definition, and the responsibilities of these roles
