One area which can be of benefit for teams to explore is the topic of process mapping. Process mapping is a visual way of mapping out what needs to get done, when, and by who.
If you were to meet in person, process mapping would have us map out the different tasks and activities, who needed to do them and when. An easy way to do this is by using post-its and having people identify what the activities are, then listing them out, and assigning task responsibilities and also timelines.
If you are doing this in the virtual space, you can also make sure that you share a whiteboard and have the team discuss and complete the different steps needed. I’ve taken a screenshot here of a task that was created around a report.
Note who needs to do what as well as the timelines required, plus the flow. This was made on zoom whiteboard using annotation.
While this may not be comprehensive it does help to identify resourcing, timelines, and where there may be gaps.
What do you notice?
How might this support you and your work and projects right now?
