As-is/to-be process mapping
What is it?
This is a visual way of mapping tasks that a customer does when using a specific system to achieve a specific goal.
Why do it?
Do it to record and understand either the existing (as-is) process flow or to design the future state (to be).
When to do it?
The as-is map is done at the beginning of the new product development process to understand existing process flows and identify opportunities for improvement. The to-be process map can be done at the beginning of the process to understand the macro processes and throughout design and development to work out the micro process for smaller goals.
