What is Process Architecture?
Process architecture is the structured way an organization organizes its processes into a hierarchy—showing how end-to-end value chains break down into processes, sub-processes, and activities. It helps teams navigate complex “process systems,” clarify scope and ownership, and create a shared map of how work delivers outcomes. A clear architecture makes it easier to standardize, improve, and connect processes across departments.
