IMPORTANTCE OF PROCESS MAPPING

Automating our routine tasks and finally taking a breather sounds great, doesn't it? However, there’s a critical step we must not skip before moving to automation.

**Process Mapping**

Process mapping allows us to clearly see how we perform a task from start to finish.

It all begins by taking a step back and calmly laying out each task we perform, one by one, on paper. Yes, it’s that simple! 😊

For automation to work efficiently, we first need to fully understand our business processes.

- Which tasks are causing unnecessary time loss?

- Which steps are consistently problematic?

- What task follows which step?

- In which areas can automation come into play?

Through process mapping, we can find clear answers to all these questions.

For example, let’s consider the process of recurring online meetings.

If the same meetings are held every week, the same information is repeated, and effective task tracking cannot be achieved, it’s time to review the processes.

The meeting process can be thought of as follows:

- Meeting creation

- Information sharing

- Recording information and taking notes

- Sharing notes

- Task delegation

- Task tracking

- Time management

With these steps, we can build our systems, map out the processes, and establish a solid foundation before setting up automation.
