Discovery maps

When you first create a new process blueprint, it opens in the Discovery Map view. Because the Discovery Map view allows you to quickly enter milestones and activities contained in those milestones, this is a good view to use for initial brainstorming or interviewing sessions with process experts.

In the Discovery Map view, you can drag and drop milestones and activities onto the canvas, or you can type a list of items into the Process Outline pane and quickly create activities and milestones using indentation to indicate the organizational relationships between the list items.
