# Process mapping: to act, not to decorate.

Too many maps end up on the wall, never reopened. Maestro maps at the right level — phases, activities, RACI — for a process that is readable, executable and trainable.

## Mapping a process: to hang it on the wall, or to run it?

Process mapping is often seen as an end in itself: beautiful, precise BPMN maps… rarely reopened by the people doing the work. A map is only worth something if it makes the process **clearer, executable and trainable**.

## Enough detail to act, no more

Maestro maps at the right level: the **phases**, 1 to 5 **activities** per phase (as action verbs), the **responsibilities** (RACI) and the **business rules** that matter. The deliverable is a **flowchart read in two minutes**, not an expert diagram. Each activity points to its procedure and to the training for the role concerned.

## When do you need a full BPM tool?

To analyse in fine detail, run process mining or govern highly complex processes, a BPM tool keeps its value. To **clarify and run** a process day to day, Maestro's mapping is enough — and it combines with your BPM tool where needed.

## Your questions

### How do you map a process simply?

By staying at the right level: phases, 1 to 5 activities as action verbs, RACI and business rules. Maestro produces a readable flowchart, not an expert diagram.

### Do you need to master BPMN?

No. Maestro produces a flowchart everyone can understand; BPMN remains an experts' language, useful mainly for analysis.

### What is mapping for at Maestro?

To make the process executable and trainable: each activity is linked to its procedure, its RACI and its training.

### Can you start from scratch?

Yes: from experts' knowledge, Maestro maps a process that has never been formalised.
