At the very minimum, an individual process should show WHO is doing WHAT and in WHICH sequence to accomplish a particular aim or goal- which is the objective of the process. If we need to make a decision which determined further course of action, then it needs to be included within the process. Any reasoning for choosing a particular action-path should be indicated as reference details within the Process documentation. Also, it is important that we “normalize” Processes that are too complex, so that they are represented in a simplified, easy to understand manner.
