PROCESS DRAFT

Step-by-step process, first draft

Turn a repeated process with forms, checks, and approvals into a first screen-by-screen draft you can test before expanding.

Start with this example

Who it fits

small teams, operations leads, non-technical founders

What to bring

  • - The repeated steps, current tools, and where people wait on each other.
  • - The minimum information needed to move one item forward.
  • - The mistakes or duplicate work you want to prevent.

First thing to review

  • - A first screen-by-screen outline showing each step, who handles it, and what needs a decision.
  • - Guardrails for duplicate actions, approvals, and risky external steps.
  • - A preview or build checklist when the project type allows it.

What this helps with

A first draft with input fields, status changes, owner checks, and the points where someone must approve the next step.

First flow

01Map the repeated steps and common failure points.
02Lock the must-have input and approval checkpoints.
03Review a lightweight result before expanding scope.

Not a fit when

  • - A complex multi-tenant platform that needs sharding, custom load balancing, or enterprise SSO immediately.
  • - A production-critical system that cannot be previewed safely first.
