Business Process Map and Process Model

The video tutorial explains the differences between process maps and process models. A process map depicts how an organization's processes actually function, while a process model focuses on how they should function for planning and analysis. Process maps group activities by process, identifying roles and decision points, while process models break down each step for optimization. Both tools are essential in process management for visualizing and planning organizational processes.
