This week, you will create two process maps: one showing how things work now, and one showing how they will work after the proposed change. These maps help you understand the current process and see how the change might affect it, including any unexpected results.

Assignments

Process mapping offers a powerful tool to understand complex processes.  Without defining and fully understanding the processes involved in your change project, effective and sustainable change is difficult. 

1. Using Word or PPT, create two process maps in one file/document
2. The first process map should describe the current processes without any intervention from your change project.
3. The second process map should reflect the projected process changes that will occur after implementation of your change project. Identify the process changes by using a different color to differentiate from the first process map. 
4. The major steps in the processes should be included in your process map.
5. Process steps should be organized sequentially and logically, with relationships between components noted using arrows, lines, dots or other symbols.
6. Your map should be well organized and labeled with figures per APA 7.
7. Upload file with both maps to Canvas drop box.
