We did the same for home visits, where we had in one case, 150 people traveling around several USA counties (important here to have geo-automation).<br /><br />Very nice article - I particularly enjoyed ". . .no formal BPMN". I am not a fan of notations/languages. <br /><br />Seems to me one gets much better/faster results when a facilitator uses a platform where he/she can, at random, pick a stakeholder who has never seen the platform and successfully gets that stakeholder to build, compile, roll-out and model a process with minimal hand-holding.<br />kwkeirsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193962472134379529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517428284160902890.post-88149499761705748642017-02-22T02:21:01.991-08:002017-02-22T02:21:01.991-08:00Excellent article - I also put the standard notati...Excellent article - I also put the standard notation aside and focus on depicting/communicating the real challenges the process have and how it can be solved.
