Promapp Process Improvement Mapping Tool
Read about Promapp, a process mapping tool for continuous improvement at UC San Diego.
Log into Promapp (after completing training) to create simplified process maps with the users in mind. UC San Diego is leveraging Promapp to capture current state processes campuswide. Using this tool we can identify process improvement opportunities, increase process awareness, and support our staff.
Benefits - How is this different from other tools?
- With little or no experience, you can create effective and clear process maps. No more fumbling with boxes and diamonds. You think and write in "bullets" and the tool makes the map!
- Easily include links, documents, images, and videos within each map.
- Share maps with internal or external audiences and gather feedback.
- Acronyms auto-generate descriptions for users.
- Additional features are available for process improvement efforts.
