Milestone SummaryThis is your first milestone in building toward the final project. You will produce an A3 report with all required sections in this milestone. In this report, you must state the product business process in both the background of the A3 report and the supporting document, produce a single A3-sized report with a BPMN diagram that includes a minimum of three activities. The report must include the following sections: problem definition, background, current condition, root cause analysis, desired condition, risks and mitigation. A 2-4 page supporting document indicating the target process and how the steps describe illustrations in BPMN. Milestone DescriptionYou are a product manager in your organization, use the business process analysis to do the following: Milestone InstructionsStep 1: Identify a process in product management. Step 2: Deconstruct the process from Step 1 to create a BPMN diagram using a tool of your choice. At this stage, keep the process relatively simple. You are learning by doing. Start with something easy. Step 3: Identify at least three (3) steps/activities in the BPMN diagram that may benefit from automation. This automation should be in the Cloud. Step 4: Prepare an A3 report that includes the BPMN diagram of the normal operation (current condition) and the BPMN diagram of the proposed automation process (desired condition). The A3 Report should answer the following questions: What is the current condition or state? Why is this step being conducted? What is the background of the problem? What is the root cause of the problem? Why is automation needed for the normal process? What is our desired condition? What problem does it solve? What are the risk and mitigations? Step 5: Write two to four pages (double-spaced, 12-point font, and in Times New Roman) of supporting documentation, inclusive of: One to two (1-2) pages of written narrative describing the steps you took to create the BPM diagram. One to two (1-2) pages indicating which activities/process in your diagram are being targeted for automation and why. Assignment TipsThe Milestone 1 project requires you to submit a single page of the A3 Report with BPMN diagrams and two to four pages of the narrative report. Make sure that all required documents (A3 report with 2 – 4 pages narrative report) are compiled in a single file. Review the rubric prior to submitting your assignment.
