If your cross-functional Data Visualizer diagram looks scrambled, the culprit is usually Function. Here’s the lane naming method that prevents chaos and keeps diagrams refreshable.

Once a process map exists as data, you can “re-lane” it without redrawing. This Lean value-stream lens replaces department swimlanes with VA/BVA/NVA and replaces phases with Doing/Waiting/Rework—creating a 3×3 grid of nine insights. It quickly surfaces bottlenecks, approval drag, and rework loops, and it’s easy to implement by adding two columns to your process table and regenerating the diagram.

Static process diagrams drift the moment reality changes. Fix it by treating the process as data: capture each step as a row (ID, description, next step, type, function, phase), generate a linked Visio Data Visualizer diagram from the table, then keep it current by updating the dataset and refreshing the diagram. One dataset, many views.
