Course Description

Whether you are hiring for a new position or are a theater company developing a plan on how to sell tickets more conveniently, it’s important to contemplate each step in the process and develop a solid plan of execution.  Using a Basic Flowchart helps create, design, and implement that plan.  But what do you do if you have different people handling different tasks within a plan? What is a BMPN flowchart?

In this module, we will explain how Basic Flowcharts are great for any system we can conceive and desire to develop.  Breaking steps down and walking through them in a Visio drawing will give us a more in-depth understanding of that process and what is most vital to focus on. We will also cover Swimlanes and how they can assist in delegating other process parts to fellow teammates and assist in visualizing the milestones.
