What are the best options for testing new processes at the end of a process...

At the conclusion of design, it's essential tovalidate process performancebefore full-scale rollout. Techniques such as:

Role playing(walkthroughs with stakeholders)

Prototyping(a scaled or digital mock-up of the process)

Direct observation(to evaluate realism and clarity)

These help ensure the process works as intended under real conditions.

“Testing the designed process through techniques like role play and prototyping helps validate process flow, decision points, and user experience before deployment.”

– ABPMP CBOK®, Chapter 5 – Process Design

This validation step helps:

Identify missed dependencies

Expose potential bottlenecks

Gain early stakeholder feedback
