A swimlane diagram is a tool that you can use to get a detailed view of a process in your business.   It&apos;s used when you need a deeper understanding of a process than a process narrative can provide.   It&apos;s useful when trying to get more efficient with your process or as training documentation for new employees.   Oftentimes, just by creating a swimlane diagram of a process, you&apos;ll see 2-3 things you can do immediately to make the process better. This podcast references a diagram that can be seen on the Optimize For Outcomes website at https://www.optimizeforoutcomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Restaurant-Seating-scaled.jpeg
