Process Sheet
Process sheet helps to understand the impact of various factors on the process to devise strategies to mitigate risks and enhance performance.
Chapter 1: What is it?
The macro level process sheet or turtle diagram is a powerful tool used in various industries to visually represent the relationship between processes, inputs, outputs, and factors that influence an organization’s performance. It helps organizations understand and evaluate the effectiveness of their processes and identify areas for improvement.
The diagram consists of three main components: the process, the inputs, and the outputs. The process represents the activities or steps that transform inputs into desired outputs. Inputs are the resources, information, or materials required for the process, while outputs are the results or products produced by the process.

What is a Process Sheet?
Watch this Video.
A process sheet is a crucial tool utilized in various industries to outline the steps required to complete a specific task or process. It serves as a comprehensive guide that provides a clear and organized structure for workers to follow.
As You Watch This Video
As you watch this video to understand the available template;
1. We have to answer the questions: what does the process do? This answer starts with the support function to the value proposition (see Purpose Defining Course – Value Proposition Model), and further identified on the organizations macro level process map (see Strategic Planning Creation Course – Process Map)
2. Inputs – which are one or more suppliers, whether internal or external, identified as an required input whether the need is tangible or intangible.
3. Outputs – which are one or more customers or receivers of that output, whether internal or external, identified as a required output whether the need is tangible or intangible.
4. How do we operate our process? These are the activities conducted to transform inputs into outputs.
a) Once you identify the needed activities, determine what type of talent, whether it is internal or external, is needed with the required education, skills and competencies to complete these identified activities.
b) Once you have identified the activities and talent needed, you can assess the resources needed to support these activities and talents. The resources can be special materials, special equipment and tooling, special software or special services to aid into completing identified activities.
5. How much? The receiver of the process’s output generally determines the output requirements. The requirement can define what monitoring and measuring activities and/or data collection needs to determine if the process is functioning effectively and efficiently.
Still need to visualize, understand the design of the process sheet and how the method is tested, see the following case studies.
Case Study 1 - Led to Manage LLC
Macro Level View
How we used this format
1. We started with multidisciplinary team, a process map of the organization (see Strategic Planning Creation Course – Process Map) and a defined organizational structure (see Strategic Planning Creation Course – Organizational Chart) to determine the process owner responsible for the needed process sheet.
2. We started with the customer requirements defined to know what output and specifications are required, then asked the internal receiver of this process as defined in the process map, what internal requirement are need from this process.
3. Next we determined what activities are need from this process to fulfill these internal and external needs and expectations.
4. Now at this point the process has needs to complete its mission. So first, ask what do we need from external customers in the form of additional requirements and specifications, from external partners whether tangible and intangible goods and services and internal suppliers of internal tangible and intangible good and services.
5. To summarize so far we identified the customer’s needs and expectations, the process needs and expectations from the supplier of goods ad services and the process activities needed to transform inputs into outputs. Next we looked at the need special resources like physical, electronic, services and human.
6. Special resources included needed materials, equipment and tooling as well as need support resources like software and services like utilities, facilities, and support personnel.
7. Once we identified the need for talent to operate the process, we asses if that talent needed to have a certain proficiencies as far as education, skills and competencies.
8. Now we have the process mapped out, we looked again at the output requirement and the activities, and resources to be applied and defined the monitoring ad measurement activities need to identify if the process is operating effectively and efficiently.
Lessons learned
In the development of our process map, it helped us to identify:
1. By using a multidisciplinary team, which could include external partners, this strategic planning team started to understand it’s own roles and responsibilities toward the process being examined.
2. The multifunctional team then conducted a brainstorming session to affinity categories (see at the end of each course package – Brainstorming / Affinity Diagram) facing the process and determine what need actions had to be addressed before deploying this process into the organization.
3. After a discussion with the multidisciplinary team , we understood the short-term and long-term goals needed to implement this process and conducted a force field analysis (see at the end of each course package – Force Field Analysis) to determine how to strengthen the driving forces for this change and address the restraining forces against it.
4. Finally we reviewed the time to delivery model (see Purpose Defining Course – Time To Delivery Model), to determine if we can meet the estimated delivery model of change it to reflect the current delivery status.
