2. Design Alternate Process

The ISP process improvement methodology uses brainstorming to map processes and Microsoft Project to document the process maps. Using Microsoft Project allows us to attach resources and work to each work step. This rolls up into a cost model for each process. The diagram below highlights the major step in process improvement along with the detail work steps for 'Analyze existing processes'.
Step 2 of Process improvement
               
  1 Analyze existing process              
               
    2 Design alternate processes            
              
       3. Select processes to improve         
              
         4. Develop new processes       
              
            5. Deploy new processes     
              
              6. Achieve improvement goals  
              

The diagram below expands the second step in Process Improvement. Repeat this step for each process you want to improve.
2. Design new process
                         
  .1 Create vision of perfect process                      
                         
      .2 Analyze objectives and strategies                  
                         
          .3 Create new process              
                         
              .4 Map improved process with Microsoft Project          
                         
                  .5 Estimate resources and work effort      
                         
                      .6 Develop process cost model
