Draw to show architecture of a process

Process architecture illustrates the structure and relationships between different processes within an organization or system. It typically shows:

• Processes: Individual activities or sets of activities that transform inputs into outputs.
• Inputs: Resources, information, or materials required for a process to begin.
• Outputs: The results or deliverables produced by a process.
• Actors/Roles: The individuals, teams, or systems responsible for executing parts of a process.
• Data/Information Flow: The movement of data or information between processes.
• Decision Points: Points where a choice is made that affects the process flow.
• Boundaries: Delineation of where one process ends and another begins, or the scope of the system.

A common way to visualize this is through a process map or flowchart, often using symbols to represent steps, decisions, and data, and arrows to show the flow. For complex architectures, swimlane diagrams are used to show responsibilities across different departments or roles.
