Lean Six Sigma relies on a thorough understanding of how work flows through your organisation. Creating a visual process map allows teams to see every step in the value stream and quickly spot delays, rework and non‑value‑add activities
At Trigraph Intelligent Learning we believe that clear, accurate process maps are the backbone of every successful continuous‑improvement initiative. Whether you are embarking on a Lean transformation or seeking to eliminate waste and reduce variation, our MS Visio – Business Process Mapping course gives your team the practical skills to build professional diagrams and flowcharts that reveal where value is created and where inefficiencies hide. Delivered virtually in four 2‑hour sessions over two days, this hands‑on course is taught by Microsoft‑certified instructors who specialise in Lean and Six Sigma projects.
Lean Six Sigma relies on a thorough understanding of how work flows through your organisation. Creating a visual process map allows teams to see every step in the value stream and quickly spot delays, rework and non‑value‑add activities. Microsoft notes that process maps help leaders “bring teams together [and] highlight complexities and redundancies”. They offer documentation for audits and compliance, show how team members are connected and provide a library of diagrams you can reuse across projects. When integrated into Lean Six Sigma, these visual tools empower teams to eliminate waste, standardise procedures and sustain improvements.

Microsoft Visio is a diagramming solution from Microsoft that allows users to create and visualise business processes, data flows and a variety of diagrams.
It helps teams present complex information clearly using flowcharts, swim‑lane diagrams, organisation charts, network diagrams and more.
Trigraph’s MS Visio course is skills‑focused training rather than an official Microsoft certification. It is delivered by instructors who hold formal Microsoft certifications, and participants receive a certificate of completion from Trigraph. For formal Microsoft or industry‑recognised certification you may need to pursue separate examinations.
The MS Visio – Business Process Mapping course builds a solid foundation in the software. You will learn to start and manage drawings, work with shapes, stencils and text, apply styles, manage multi‑page diagrams and finish diagrams. The course then moves on to creating flowcharts, cross‑functional (swim‑lane) diagrams, organisation charts and Gantt chart. By the end of the programme, you will be comfortable building professional‑quality process maps that support business improvement initiatives.
This training is delivered virtually as four live sessions, each lasting two hours, spread over two consecutive days. The online format provides interactive instruction and practice with your own copy of MS Visio.
