Process checklist for ARIS

Choose a meaningful name that sounds like what you do, not your department.

Start with a well-thought-out name when creating a new process.

What do you want to achieve with the process? Who is the process intended for and what does the target group expect?

Fill the “Description/Definition” attribute of the process.

Who owns the process? Who takes care of it and makes sure that it remains up to date?

Select an ARIS user for the “Person responsible” attribute of the process.

Who is responsible for what and who makes decisions? Who is the contact person and when for each step?

Define responsible roles, persons, organizational units etc. as objects in the RACI area of the activity properties.

What is required? Data, documents? Which IT system should be used?

Maintain systems, inputs, outputs, documents etc.as objects in the properties of each activity, or model them directly in the diagram.

What can go wrong? How bad would it be and how can we counteract?

Maintain risks as objects in the properties of activities and assess them using the attribute “Criticality.” Define controls for each risk.

How do we want to know if we are achieving our goals and meeting customer expectations? How to measure?

Define relevant KPIs as objects and integrate them into the process. Measure them with process mining and visualize with dashboards
