How to Customize
Map your stages and decisions
Rename nodes (e.g., Intake, Feasibility, Planning, Execution, QC, Closure, CI) to match your operation.
Add roles, tools, and KPIs
Attach owners (PM, QA), systems (ERP, MES, CRM), and metrics (throughput, defect %, variance) to each stage.
Highlight loops and handoffs
Draw links for rework to Execution and feedback to Planning; color‑code critical paths and risks.
Key Benefits
- Faster team alignment and stakeholder buy‑in
- Fewer handoff errors and less avoidable rework
- Standardized, auditable process visualization
