Process Design Tutorials #4 | What is a To Be Process?

In this week’s process modeling tutorial, I’m going to look at To be processes. So, what is a To Be process?

To-Be processes are the second step in business process modeling activities.

In the ‘as-is’ processes you captured how the business works today.

So, in the ‘to-be’ processes you’re going to take this information and start the design the business/application that way you want it ‘to-be’.

This also means making assumptions about the time/cost of each task, and the likelihood of different events that may occur during its lifecycle.

You may have to base these assumptions on data you’ve found in existing business processes or by making ‘guesstimates’ for new processes.

FYI: Business Process Design Templates
