Business process guide
Customer Journey vs Business Process
A journey map shows the experience from the customer's perspective; a process map shows how the organization produces that experience.
Practical note: process design depends on organization, data, controls, laws, contracts and technology. Treat examples and calculators as educational planning aids, then validate changes against your own requirements.
Different lenses
The journey highlights goals, interactions, expectations and pain points. The process map highlights tasks, systems, roles and controls.
Connect moments to causes
A long customer wait can be linked to an internal approval queue or missing-data loop.
Improve both
Good redesign changes the internal process where necessary and the customer interaction where clarity or choice can improve.
