are to ask questions provided by the application
and record responses provided by the group,
one text phrase at a time

Who does the process
interact with?
What transactions
go between them?
What are goals, issues
and ideas about that?
What happens next?

into process maps, evaluations and action plans
that can be re-used online and distributed in PowerPoint and Excel
