Manual Process Analysis
Manual Process Analysis is a systematic approach to examining and documenting existing business or technical workflows performed by humans without automation. It involves observing, interviewing stakeholders, and mapping out steps to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement. This methodology is foundational for process optimization, automation projects, and quality management initiatives.
Developers should learn Manual Process Analysis when working on projects that involve automating legacy systems, improving user workflows, or implementing business process management (BPM) tools. It helps in understanding current pain points, defining requirements accurately, and ensuring that automated solutions align with real-world needs, such as in software development for enterprise applications or DevOps pipeline enhancements.
