I have previous experience designing processes using other platforms (Visio, Confluence, Draw.io), but wanted to navigate through Lucidchart and understand their capabilities.

I have created two process diagrams, drafting requirements myself.

Diagram 1: HR process — hiring a personal trainer for a gym

Scenario:

The recruitment process starts by opening the vacancy in the company’s internal tool. Then, the job is advertised on different online platforms. HR receives a series of applications and then does a manual screening of them. Some applicants are not qualified and they won’t be contacted for a interview. The applicants will go to one interview and a practical test, then they are presented a job offer. If the applicant accepts it, they will sign the contract.

Diagram 2: Illustrate the “5 WHYs” root cause analysis

Scenario:

The recruitment process is taking a long time although there is one HR and one experienced PT who is testing the candidates. Ask WHY to get a (fictional) root cause of the problem.
