Module 4 Journal: Creating a Detailed Process Map
Guidelines and Rubric
In this journal assignment, you are to create a process map to visually display all the steps and decision points in the process you have been exploring throughout the previous modules’ journals. A process map or flowchart describes the flow of activities from inputs to outputs and the relationships between the various process steps. For this journal assignment you will create a detailed (graphical or tabular) process flowchart for your process using either a flowchart or numbering sequence—refer to How to Make a Process Map. Your process flowchart must include the following critical elements:
● Identify and sequence the process steps ● Illustrate the as-is process as a sequence of activities ● Identify any decision points as appropriate ● Identify the department’s or individual’s roles involved in the process ● Indicate problem areas with an asterisk accompanied by an explanation
Guidelines for Submission: Your journal entry should include an attachment or link to either a flowchart or numbering sequence of a process.
Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center.
