Process Modeling vs. Process Mapping
In the world of Business Process Management (BPM), the terms process modeling, and process mapping are almost always used interchangeably. Understanding the differences in each term would be helpful for those who may be new to the field or who may want a deeper exposure to BPM overall.

What is
Process Mapping
When we look at how a business process operates, we see all the steps and tasks involved with it. Process mapping is quite simply creating a map to visually show (a.k.a. – workflow diagram) the steps to a particular business process. By visually capturing the steps, we can get an accurate view of the process from end-to-end. The source of input for these maps comes from various data capture methods through investigation (documentation, simple drawings, SOP’s etc.).
Business activities supported by process mapping include monitoring, analysis and reporting, as well as all activities related to compliance (regulatory or otherwise).
what is
Process Modeling
Process modeling takes things to a deeper level as a model is a visual representation of a business process (flow of work) in detail to its perspective relative to business operations. This includes showing all elements of process documentation.
Process Modelling will introduce Org structure, information (documents and data), business rules, risks, and controls.
With process modeling, continuous improvement becomes easier to manage as a stakeholder can optimize process bottlenecks based solely on an accurate properly completed process model. To take it one step further, it is because the extra information (data, etc.) you have at your fingertips, provides the ability to do more analysis and even simulation.
Process modeling follows the industry standard Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) symbol layout. This is a set of shapes individually identified to represent various tasks involved along a process life-cycle. With standardization, comes a common use of symbols that anyone reviewing can easily identify when examining process improvement opportunities for certain tasks.
Understanding DIFFERENTIATION
While process mapping gears more toward understanding the current state of things, process modeling’s focus is more on process optimization. Interfacing’s Enterprise Process Center (EPC) is an excellent example of the ability to do more than just document process flow. It empowers complex organizations to align processes, execute digital transformation strategies, ensure regulatory compliance and continuously improve using digital knowledge, collaboration, and automation solutions.
Process mapping
Process mapping
Process mapping focuses on documenting the detailed steps of a process. It’s typically used to visualize specific procedures, train employees, ensure compliance, and identify operational inefficiencies. Tools like flowcharts and swimlane diagrams help create these detailed maps, which are essential for execution and continuous improvement.
Process modeling
Process modeling
Process modeling takes a higher-level approach, aiming to analyze and optimize processes. It’s used to understand how processes align with business goals, identify strategic improvements, and communicate concepts to stakeholders. Tools like BPMN and UML help create conceptual models, supporting decision-making and strategy planning.
