Identify the business process to be developed
In this task, you will identify the business process that needs to be developed. Consider the current challenges and pain points that the process aims to address. What are the desired outcomes of developing this process and how will it contribute to the overall success of the business? What resources or tools might be required to develop this process?
Conduct a detailed process analysis
This task involves conducting a detailed analysis of the identified business process. What are the key steps involved in the process? Who are the stakeholders or departments involved? What are the inputs and outputs of each step? What are the potential bottlenecks or areas of improvement? Consider using process analysis tools or techniques to gather necessary information.
Identify potential risks and challenges
In this task, you will identify potential risks and challenges associated with developing and implementing the business process. What are the possible obstacles that could hinder the success of the process? How can these risks be mitigated? Consider factors such as resource limitations, technological constraints, and resistance to change.
1
Lack of resources
2
Technological limitations
3
Resistance to change
4
Budget constraints
5
Lack of expertise
Establish measurable process objectives
In this task, you will establish measurable objectives for the developed process. What specific outcomes or targets should be achieved? How will these objectives be measured? Consider using SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-based) criteria to set clear and meaningful objectives.
Develop a process flow diagram
This task involves developing a process flow diagram to visually represent the steps and flow of the business process. How can the process steps be visually represented? What symbols or notations should be used? Consider using process modeling software or tools to create an effective and clear process flow diagram.

Design a process control strategy
In this task, you will design a process control strategy to ensure the process is executed effectively and consistently. How will quality be controlled throughout the process? What checks or controls should be implemented at each step? Consider the appropriate balance between control and efficiency.
Develop monitoring and control procedures
This task involves developing procedures to monitor and control the execution of the business process. How will the process be monitored for compliance and performance? What metrics or indicators should be tracked? Consider establishing regular review and reporting mechanisms to ensure continuous improvement.
Identify necessary resources and capabilities
In this task, you will identify the necessary resources and capabilities required for the successful implementation of the business process. What human resources, equipment, or infrastructure is needed? Are there any specific skills or expertise required? Consider conducting a resource gap analysis to identify any potential limitations.
Develop a detailed process implementation plan
This task involves developing a detailed plan for the implementation of the business process. What are the key milestones or phases of the implementation? How will the process be communicated to the relevant stakeholders? Consider creating a timeline, assigning responsibilities, and defining clear deliverables.

Cycle time
2
Error rate
3
Customer satisfaction
4
Quality metrics
5
Productivity
Collect and analyze performance data
In this task, you will collect and analyze data related to the performance of the implemented process. How will performance data be collected? What data analysis techniques or tools should be used? Consider visualizing the data through charts or graphs to gain insights and identify areas for improvement.
Identify and implement process improvements
This task involves identifying and implementing improvements to the implemented process based on the performance data and feedback received. What areas of the process need improvement? How can the process be optimized for better results? Consider involving relevant stakeholders in the improvement process.
Approval: Process Improvements
Will be submitted for approval:
Identify and implement process improvements

Review process performance against objectives
In this task, you will review the performance of the implemented process against the defined objectives. Has the process achieved the desired outcomes? What areas have met or exceeded expectations? What areas need further attention or improvement? Consider conducting a comprehensive review to assess the overall effectiveness of the process.
Update process if necessary
This task involves updating the implemented process based on the review findings and improvement recommendations. What revisions or adjustments need to be made? How will these updates be communicated and implemented? Consider documenting the updated process to ensure consistency and clarity.
Document the process and control strategy
In this task, you will document the developed business process and its associated control strategy. How will the process and control strategy be documented? What format or template should be used? Consider creating clear and concise documentation to facilitate understanding and future references.
Train staff on new process and controls
This task involves training the relevant staff members on the newly implemented business process and its associated controls. What training materials or resources should be provided? How will the training sessions be conducted? Consider providing ongoing support and feedback to ensure proper understanding and adherence to the process and controls.
