Why each option
Process Mapping is the correct tool for creating a structured visual representation of cross-functional business steps and inputs from both sales and marketing teams.
Journey Mapping is customer-centric and focuses on the customer's emotional experience across touchpoints, not the internal steps and inputs of cross-functional teams.
Process Mapping documents the sequential steps, decision points, inputs, outputs, and responsible parties in a business process, making it ideal for capturing a lead-to-customer workflow that spans both sales and marketing. It produces a structured artifact such as a swimlane diagram that clearly delineates which team performs each step and what information flows between them. This gives the BA and stakeholders a shared, precise view of the current state process.
Whiteboarding is a collaborative brainstorming technique, not a structured methodology for capturing and documenting a formal current-state process.
