Running Processes

Launching a template creates a process instance - a live run with real tasks assigned to real people. Each instance is tracked independently, so you always know where every run stands.

  1. Find the template you want to run (in the Templates area or from the Processes list).
  2. Launch it. ProcessPlan creates the process and assigns the first tasks according to the template.
  3. The people responsible are notified of their tasks and can start working immediately.

Open any running process to see its current state:

  • Task list - every task in the process, its assignee, and its status.
  • Diagram view - the same process as a flow chart. A progress heat map highlights where the process currently is and which steps are complete, making bottlenecks easy to spot. See Process Diagrams.

A process finishes when its tasks are complete. The record of the run - who did what and when - is retained, giving you an audit trail and the data to improve the template for next time.
