Eleven-step workflow board
Map the workflow before you automate it.
Use this eleven-step board to describe one recurring workflow from trigger to approved record. It keeps tools, manual friction, AI-prepared work, the named human decision, exceptions, fallback, ownership, sensitive boundaries, and one observable measure together. Open it in a spreadsheet or copy it into your preferred board.
Use this board in Miro, FigJam, a spreadsheet, or on paper.

Blank board
Keep one workflow inside one reviewable boundary.
This is an illustrative everyday workflow, not a client case study and not evidence of a measured result.
- 01
Workflow boundary
Define the workflow boundary: where does it start and end?
Worked example
Starts when a new message reaches the shared sales inbox. Ends when the sales owner approves the reply and, when useful, the CRM note.
- 02
Trigger
Name what starts the work.
Worked example
A new prospective-customer email arrives in the shared sales inbox.
- 03
Tools and records
List the tools and records involved.
Worked example
Microsoft 365 shared inbox, CRM, and approved service documents.
- 04
Manual friction
Mark what people currently copy, check, chase, rewrite, or route.
Worked example
Copy the enquiry into a note, check service facts, find an owner, rewrite a response, and route sensitive questions.
- 05
AI preparation
Define what AI may prepare.
Worked example
Prepare an intent summary, a source-backed answer, a draft reply, and an optional CRM note.
- 06
Human decision
Name the person who decides.
Worked example
The named sales owner reviews, edits, approves, holds, or rejects the draft.
- 07
Approved action
Define the approved system change or communication.
Worked example
Only the approved reply is sent. The optional CRM note is saved only after the sales owner approves it.
- 08
Record
Define the log or record.
Worked example
Record the source reference, draft, decision, owner, decision time, and approved reply or CRM note.
- 09
Exceptions, fallback, ownership
Add exceptions, fallback, and ownership.
Worked example
Pricing, security, legal, and custom commitments escalate to the owner. If sources are missing or the workflow fails, return to the current manual process.
- 10
Sensitive boundary
Mark sensitive data and credential boundaries.
Worked example
Use scoped access to the shared inbox, CRM, and approved service documents. Do not place credentials or unnecessary raw records in the brief.
- 11
Observable measure
Define one observable success measure without promising an outcome.
Worked example
Observe the percentage of enquiries with a named owner and recorded decision within the agreed review window.
Take the board
Choose a readable working format.
Open the CSV in a spreadsheet or copy its content into a board. No direct Miro or FigJam import behavior is claimed.
When the map is complete, turn it into an AI Automation Brief.
Bring one real workflow
Want a second pair of eyes on the workflow you mapped?
Bring the current process, its decision point, and the record that should remain. We will help you separate a useful first slice from work that should stay manual.
Free 30-minute review. Leave with one mapped workflow bottleneck, one human approval point, and one practical next step.
