There’s no such thing as a perfect process.

The best process builders consistently tweak and improve their workflows over time. These principles — more formally called continuous improvement — were the inspiration for the newest Process Street feature: real-time run updates.

Real-time run updates make it easier than ever to save changes to your workflows, and push those changes to in-progress workflow runs.

This means no need to wait for your process to be “perfect” before getting it live in your business. You can launch and validate your workflow with a minimum viable process, and add updates to evolve your workflow over time. All without stopping, slowing down, or waiting on work that’s already happening.

96% of businesses use some kind of business process documentation, indicating a desire to document processes. Yet only 2% have fully documented processes that can be relied on for smooth business functioning, despite the widely reported benefits. There seems to be a knowledge gap preventing the full documentation of business operations. This article aims to close that gap and make it easier to build business processes for leaders worldwide.

A business process is a set of steps that, when completed in the required order, deliver the desired business outcome. Process building – aka business process documentation – is the documentation of these steps to create an actionable system to work from.

In this Process Street article, we turn to the process experts. We asked our internal team to give their top tips on process building, and here’s what we found out. We present you with our 8 time-saving tips for efficient process building.

• Tip #1: Start with the big tasks & work your way down
• Tip #2: Quickly copy processes from Excel into Process Street
• Tip #3: Drag and drop media files directly into your workflow templates
• Tip #4: Tag your teammates directly with comments inside of workflow runs
• Tip #5: Use Conditional Logic to show/hide training content (and avoid inconveniencing experienced users)

Way back in 2013, in a converted horse stable in Buenos Aires, the first version of Process Street was just starting to come together.

From day one, we were inspired by the concept of a repeatable checklist. We still love checklists. And we’re still guided by that initial concept. But we’ve come a long way.

Over the years, we’ve evolved checklists into Workflows and grown our Workflows product in new and exciting ways. Workflows continues to be a cornerstone of the Process Street platform with even more exciting developments in the works.

Now, we’re excited to announce Pages: a new, companion product to Workflows. It’s the latest step in evolving Process Street from a repeatable checklists tool to a complete, modern process management platform.

• Introducing Pages, a new product by Process Street
• Process docs you can actually find
