Eight Goals for Scoping the ProcessCommunicate clear & defined expectations to process team
Establish scope of the process & its boundaries
Define the product and/or service deliverables

CommunicationPurpose◦ Let the team know what they will be doing &
why they are doing it
Team Roles◦ Who does what & why
Explain your methodology◦ Why am I writing on a napkin◦ Why cant we fix all our problems now
Timeline◦ How long will this take
ChallengesGetting the process team to open up and become comfortable highlighting their challenges
Legacy opportunities
Time
Methodology & terminology adoption
Define the ProductProducts can be physical, intellectual, or a service deliverable
Key Customers use the service deliverable to add value to their own product
The purpose of any process is to help enable the production of defect free products in a timely manner and at the lowest possible cost

Create an Architecture MapGoal is to create an outline highlighting the main tasks of value
Serves as a basis or outline for future & more detailed process maps
Establish the main product or service
Define primary suppliers & customers
Reach a consensus on where the process starts and ends
Define the main tasks of value (in any order)
Put the tasks in order
Review with team
Adjust if necessary
Keep it Simple
Identify all Inputs & Outputs
