.5 CPE GAP Analysis requires a comparison between the existing system(s) and/or process(es) and those that an organization aspires to achieve; this course will provide a "best practice" to achieve the goal of mapping current processes.
While mapping your business process sounds simple, it isn’t. When you start to capture all the exceptions, buts and what-ifs of the policies, procedures, rules and processes you will find a cacophony of issues. Without a complete picture of HOW you do business (from the process side), how can you determine where you want to be in the improved business process 2.0 version?
In this course we provide you with a road map to finding the true process map(s), because many times there are multiple maps, not just if-then-else decision points.

Some good considerations here to think about when developing a business process. I think a longer course could do the topic more justice as I just don't think the time alotted was the best.
Christopher Hole
(Director of Internal Audit at Roseburg Forest Products)
I would have appreciated more detail regarding the steps, and more examples of what actual documents might look like. Perhaps in a longer course the details could be presented.

Wish there are more questions to test the knowledge on this matter. As a Project Manager, I find this helpful and needs some consideration for future projects

Would recommend a re-write of this course to simply walk the viewer through step by step how to create a cross functional business flow chart.
Carol Brunsden
(Auditor at Intelligent Software)
Would like more details on steps to follow for a gap analysis but I guess this is a separate course.
