Activity Diagram Mapping is a knowledge cartography technique developed by Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and James Rumbaugh in the mid-1990s. The Activity Map supports learners to visualize and understand business processes and workflows. It is useful for learning about system design, process management, and operational flows.
How can we create an Activity Map?
- Identify the initial activity or process start point.
- Determine subsequent activities and their sequence.
- Define decision points and conditional paths.
- Connect activities with directional arrows to show flow.
- Note any parallel processes or concurrent tasks.
- Review for completeness and logical progression.
These Activity Maps can help students to analyse and design efficient workflow systems.
The application of these Activity Maps is practical in systems engineering, business process management, and organizational studies.
Our studies about Activity Maps using AI map application indicate improved accuracy and efficiency in modelling processes as one of the main advantages.
