This Swim Lane template is useful when:
- You need a simple diagram to visualise a process that contains less than seven actors/groups
- You do not have access to visualisation software such as Microsoft Visio
- You do have access to Microsoft PowerPoint
This Swim Lane template is NOT useful when:
- The process that you want to visualise is particularly complex or involves a large number of actors/groups (you’re better off to break down the overall process into smaller sub-processes).
- Your organisation already has a template for documenting and visualising processes.
- You do not have access to Microsoft PowerPoint
