What belongs in an AI workflow map?
An AI workflow map shows the trigger, source information, handoffs, proposed AI-assisted step, reviewer, final owner, official destination, exception path, and stop condition for one repeatable piece of work.
Key points
- Map the current process before drawing the proposed one.
- Show waiting, re-entry, workarounds, and off-system steps.
- Mark where an output remains a draft and where it can become official.
Limits and exceptions
- A map based on one ideal example can hide ordinary exceptions and failures.
- Do not copy private records into a planning tool merely to make the diagram realistic.
