BPA Mini-Charter - Each BPA engagement is a project that should be carefully defined. This template helps all interested parties to understand the goals, roles and responsibilities, scope and other parameters of the engagement.
Stakeholders Analysis - Identify the stakeholders of your BPA engagement. Record necessary information about your Process Action Team (PAT). Determine the best means of gathering information from each stakeholder.
Meeting Preparation Document - Our meetings are most successful when we fully understand what we want to get out of them. Use this form to define your goals, prepare your questions and generally prepare to make the best use of time with your stakeholders.
GQM (Goals - Questions - Metrics) - Before we can make any statement about whether or not a process needs improvement, we must determine the extent to which the process in its current state is able to meet its Goals. GQM requires that we carefully articulate the goals of the process, develop questions that probe the effectiveness of the process, and then identify the metrics that will allow us to answer the questions. Much of Business Process Analysis depends on our success in this step.
ETVX (Entry - Tasks - Validation - eXit) - ETVX analysis provides an opportunity to put boundaries around the process under study. Where does this process begin? Where does it end? Establishment of Entry Criteria (and inputs), Exit Criteria (and outputs) and Validation steps further defines the process.
SIPOC (Suppliers - Inputs - Process - Outputs - Customers) - Firmly establish the scope of your BPA engagement with this analysis. Identify who supplies the inputs and who consumes the outputs.
STP (Situation - Target - Proposal) - Now that you have completed your analysis, the flaws in the current process are apparent. But how will you fix them? Use the STP tool to clearly state each problem area of the process (Situation), articulate the state that would be optimal (Target) and then describe the changes you would make to attain the Target state (Proposal).
