Confluence WB Process flow maps

[Aaron Geister]

Once upon a time I did a migration from Sharepoint management system to Confluence. At this time there was no WB in Confluence.

Now that we have Whiteboards it seems that management system would be a lot more applicable in Confluence.

How would you show your process flow maps in a management system in Confluence. Would you add the flow map to the Overview page?

Would you have a set of WB showing the different flows of management system?

A lot of times these document management system are meant to help pass compliance and can help validate to compliance like ISO-9001 that they have a system and process.

What would you do to organize your WB processes?

@Aaron Geister I have found that the amount of shapes and tools available in Whiteboards today do not make it a great process diagramming tool. Ideation it is great for. Documentation of processes - we still rely on third party apps for that.

Exactly!

Modelling processes with BPMN 2.0 is not possible due to the missing shape library like in other tools (e.g. Draw.io, Lucid Charts, Miro etc.).

Also if you have other services which produce diagramms of any sort, one needs to be able to import common file formats like .vsdx oder .bpmn.
So for propper process management there is currently no way around a dedicated app for that use case.

But the whiteboard is a great tool for roughly sketching out and discussing a process.

@Aaron Geister if my answer helped you, kindly mark it as accepted so that others can more easily find (and trust) it. 

Thanks!
