    A process is a series of steps taken to accomplish a task or activity. Everything we do involves multiple processes. There are four main steps to business process engineering: 1) Identifying the key processes, 2) Gathering information about the process from documents and stakeholders, 3) Interviewing people involved and creating a process map, and 4) Analyzing the process to find ways to make it more effective and efficient. Tools like flowcharts, templates, and process definition agreements are used to document and improve the processes.

    What is a Process?

     A process is no more than the steps and


    decisions involved in the way work is
    accomplished.
     Everything we do in our lives involves processes
    and lots of them. The transportation industry is
    no different.
     Here are some relevant examples:
    − Creating a Toll Transaction
    − Creating a Photo Toll Transaction
    − Creating a Tag Toll Transaction
    − Etc..
    Business Process Engineering in 4 Steps

    1. Process Identification
    2. Information Gathering
    3. Interviewing and Mapping
    4. Analysis
    Process Identification

     Attaining a full understanding of all the roles,


    inputs, outputs, and steps of a process.

     SIPOC is a diagramming tool that uses logic to help a


    team create a process map of a how they (the team)
    accomplish a process
    Information gathering

     Identify artifacts that will set the scope of the process

    Gathering “Business Rules”

     Elicitation Techniques
    o JAD
     Mockups
     Requirements Elicitation
    o Survey
    o Brainstorming
     SIPOC

     The only right approach is the one defined and approved


    by the audience and situation.

     If one is not required by the COE, PMO, or Project team


    then create an agreed upon gathering standard and stay
    consistent.

    Unit Process
    Unit Process: Identifies a task that is covered in a step-by-step manner in the Process

    Process Decision: Identifies a decision / branching point, signifying a choice to be made by


    Decision? the end user. Lines represent different choices emerging from different parts of the
    diamond.

    teams gain a deeper understanding of the business
    impact of the functions and features they are building or
    testing
    − Business Management – Using methods like PDSA
    managers can improve performance by setting up a
