Mapping the Processes

 

The JISC Process Mapping InfoKit was used to educate the project team on process mapping. There were three types of approaches to process mapping that were discussed. There were three teams of seven to eight administrators in each action research group. Each group eventually decided on a preferred approach to documenting their processes, but ideally using flow diagram, on paper.

This was the first iteration of a mapped process using Archimate. These steps were captured by the a group of eight administrators in this action research group.

This process is managed by the administrators following receipt of the student’s application.

Following the process mappings, a process modeller used Archi to digitally map the processes.

Archi, is an open source modeling tool that uses ArchiMate to create architecture diagrams. Archi, was developed by the University of Bolton, as a support, and entry-level tool for Enterprise Architecture.

This is a process that was mapped using Archi:
