Multitasking is an important skill in the modern business world. Unfortunately, it is also very tricky. Multitasking involves skimming the surface of different tasks and picking out the important details needed to fulfill each one. This is where crucial information is most likely to be lost. On the other hand, it is inefficient for a person to only give his or her full attention to a single task at any time. This is where Process Mapping becomes useful. Business owners and managers cannot recall every single detail of every single process. The different processes involved in delivering a product or service to a client can be overwhelming. They must delegate tasks, which requires monitoring for efficiency, which needs management, which necessitates following a set of standards, and so forth.
Process Mapping is the practice of exhaustively representing every relevant detail that it takes for a producer to deliver a final product to its consumers. More recently, with the help of computer software that has the ability to factor in metadata (time, volume, databases etc.) to each interrelated process, Process Mapping has become even more helpful. Companies use it for business process re-engineering, regulatory compliance, activity analysis, service level agreement (SLA) role clarity (RACI), and simulation of processes given different sets of resources. An even more recent development is web-browser based mapping. Making process maps available for use on a browser means that it becomes accessible to all stakeholders. With it, overseeing a business becomes multi-dimensional and the big picture becomes visible by all relevant parties.
