Immediately following discovery, the consultant should concentrate on accurately documenting what the business does today and what the users need, rather than prematurely selecting technologies. This requires understanding each relevant persona, documenting business-process flows, and creating visual representations of those flows.
Salesforce process-mapping guidance defines process mapping as a visual representation of business processes showing responsibilities, process steps, inputs, outputs, and how activities connect. A strong process map provides an end-to-end view and establishes the baseline from which future-state improvements can be designed.
Understanding multiple personas is equally important because onboarding often involves customers, bankers, compliance personnel, operations teams, and approvers. Personas clarify user goals, behaviors, responsibilities, pain points, and the tools each participant uses.
Selecting a particular e-signature solution and designing the detailed Agentforce Financial Services component architecture belong to later solution-design activities. Discovery documentation must first establish the validated requirements and current or future process boundaries. Therefore, the correct deliverables are the persona journey, visual process flow, and documented business-process flows.
