Documentation Alignment
Documentation alignment ensures that enterprise documents accurately support and reflect defined processes. Proper alignment prevents duplication, inconsistency, and gaps between process architecture and execution records.
This page describes how documentation is aligned to the Enterprise Business Process Architecture to support governance, compliance, and audit readiness.
Purpose
Aligning documentation to processes ensures that procedures, work instructions, forms, and records support defined process intent and ownership rather than operating as standalone artifacts.
Types of Documentation
Enterprise documentation may include policies, procedures, work instructions, forms, records, and specifications. Each document type supports a specific level of process execution or governance.
Alignment to Processes
Documentation is mapped to the appropriate process, process family, or end-to-end process. This alignment ensures traceability between process intent, execution, and evidence.
Governance and Control
Documentation supporting quality-critical processes is governed under the Quality Management System, including document control, review, approval, and change management requirements.
