In order to develop workflow processes, it is necessary to identify the tasks that are required in a specific process and their interactions. The aim is to create an efficient process that reduces the amount of work that can be completed within the time frame you want it to be. Input from stakeholders is a key component of developing workflow processes since it can help to identify any potential hurdles that may arise, and increase the efficiency of the process.
Getting Started
Begin by imagining the steps that should be taken to complete the specific process you’re trying to automate. Ask your team members to describe the current processes and the ways they think could be improved. Asking questions like What specific tasks are required? Who is accountable for each task? How many hours will it take to complete each task?
Once you’ve identified the tasks, you must determine who will be responsible for each step, and any overlapping duties that have to be eliminated. Draw a diagram that demonstrates the relationships between the tasks and their steps. You can use arrows to show the dependencies between tasks, or diamond shapes for the decision points.
Once the workflow has been developed It is crucial to test it to make sure that it runs smoothly. Make sure all the required information is provided to the team, particularly in the event of dependencies or other issues. Incorporate feedback from team members who use the routinely to improve the efficiency and usability of the workflow.
