When you are mapping the capabilities for your business,
either to reflect what capabilities you currently have, or to determine
what capabilities you need to have in the future, you might find that
you want to drill down below the level of a capability into the set
of business processes that support that capability.
- You can also take a top-down approach, defining a capability,
then linking to the processes that already exist or that must exist
in the future. To do this, select a capability in your capability
map.
- In the Details view, expand the Supporting Processes section
and click Add a process. The Link to Supporting
Process window appears
- If you are linking to an existing process that has already
been added to your Business Leader space, click Link to
a document or element in this space. If you are linking
to a public document that exists in the repository, click Link
to a document or element in the repository.
- You can also create new process maps to link to. This is
useful when you want to quickly list all the processes that support
a capability, and create process maps for all of them in one step.
To do this, click the New Process button. Modify the default name
of the newly created process map to reflect the name of the process
that is needed to support the capability.
Example
After you have added processes, they will appear in the
Supporting Processes section of the Details view. Document viewers
can navigate to these processes from the links in this section.
Note: If
you have created new process maps from within a capability map, you
should modify these new process maps to reflect the actual
process flow.
