When you are ready to start up your process mapping project spend some time agreeing on the standards that everyone will use to create and publish the maps. This will save anguish later, as you try and bring order to a growing collection of process maps.

Naming conventions

1. Use a logical name for the process folder containing the files in your project. e.g. Account Management process.
2. Use the same name to describe the “dashboard” level page for navigation to the lower level detailed maps. e.g. Account Management Dashboard
3. Decide on logical abbreviations for page names to allow each task in your process library to have a unique number. e.g. Account Management = AM-001
4. Ensure you have a common role list for the relevant process e.g. Account Management may have sales, support and financial roles included in a shared template.
