Process map is a graphical representation of the output of process mapping, and documents one or several processes of an organization. It contains information about
- inputs and outputs of the process in question
- requirements of the process
- sequence of steps of sub-processes
- interaction between other processes
- definition of a successful completion of the process
Process map may be depicted, for example, in a form of a flow chart, see Fig 1.
