Example

So if we have a new user in organization we need to enable Email for this User  this means that

input :User information + parameter for the output (AKA Mailbox Size )

Process :Admin Tasks

Output : the user Mailbox ready for use (Value ) if the Admin failed to create the Mailbox the value will not be delivered .

this is a very simple process just to show you .

 

Every process needs couple of things

Owner: the one who will ensure that the process is performing as it should

Enabler/Manager : the one preforming the actions (Could be many ), (Could be Human+System)

So the Drawing should change to

So Back to out Example the process owner Could be IT operations manager , but the process Enabler could be the Admin team/ Service Desk +Servers .

  • the process owner is responsible for documenting and publicizing the process
  • defining KPIs
  • Reviewing the KPI
  • assisting with the process design
  • improving the process
  • reviewing the proposed enhancement to the process and addressing any issue
  • Ensure that the staff have the required knowledge to preform their role in the process
  • interfacing with line management to make sure that the process receive the needed resources it requires
