Turtle Diagram Process Analysis Project
Define a process, its inputs and outputs, people, resources, methods and measures, then strengthen the analysis with process ownership, interactions, risks, controls, requirements and audit prompts. Build a visual Turtle Diagram and a printable process assurance report.
Process definition
Purpose: A Turtle Diagram is most useful when it defines a real process boundary. Describe what triggers the process, where it starts and stops, who owns it, what it must achieve, and who depends on its output.

Good practice: avoid defining the process so broadly that ownership and measures become vague. A useful Turtle normally describes one manageable process with identifiable inputs, outputs, controls and performance measures.

Measures / KPIs
Inputs — what goes in?
Requirements, information, material, demand, approvals, designs, specifications, previous-process outputs or other triggers needed by the process.
Outputs — what comes out?
Products, services, records, decisions, approvals, data or information produced by the process and passed to a customer or downstream process.
With what? — resources
Equipment, machines, tooling, software, facilities, infrastructure, measuring equipment, reference standards and environmental resources.
With whom? — people & competence
Roles, responsibilities, authorities, competence, qualification, training, certification and experience required to perform or approve the process.
How? — methods & controls
Procedures, work instructions, plans, specifications, acceptance criteria, approved parameters, controls, inspection points and records that govern execution.
How measured? — effectiveness
KPIs, objectives, acceptance criteria, process performance indicators, quality results, delivery metrics, capability, escape rates, trends and other evidence that the process achieves intended results.
Process interactions
Identify upstream suppliers/processes and downstream customers/processes. This helps expose hand-off risks and clarifies process interfaces.
Applicable requirements
Record customer, regulatory, statutory, QMS, drawing, specification, contractual or internal requirements that govern the process.
Risks & opportunities
Record what could prevent the intended output, the consequence, existing controls and the residual status. Opportunities may also be captured as positive improvements.
Records & evidence
Define the objective evidence retained to demonstrate the process was performed and controlled: travellers, certificates, inspection results, logs, approvals, test data or system records.
Process change & improvement
Process effectiveness assessment
Rate each dimension using evidence. The score is a maturity / assurance aid, not a substitute for conformity assessment or objective audit evidence.

Generated audit prompts
The prompts below are built from your Turtle entries. Use them to test implementation and objective evidence rather than simply confirming that documentation exists.
