Explanation
A SIPOC diagram is specifically designed as a high-level process overview tool used before building a more detailed process map. It captures the five key elements: Suppliers (who provides inputs), Inputs (what is needed to run the process), Process (the high-level steps), Outputs (what the process produces), and Customers (who receives the outputs). Because the BA is in a preparatory phase-gathering key points before diving into detail-SIPOC is the right tool. A Capability Model documents organizational capabilities rather than process flows, and a Value Stream Map is a Lean tool used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information for a specific product or service, not for initial high-level process documentation.
