I think in and use Mind Maps to illustrate processes.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map)
My favorite, current tool is made by Simplemind (https://simplemind.eu). There is a free version and a pro version. Export of a given map also creates an outline of the map in .TXT file form.
For those who think in a more linear way, this allows the creation of that list or matrix. This allows a flow or method of checking alignment and evaluating aspects of projects.
When we begin with a conversation around “How” a project or process is navigated, we are actually looking at the Why, Who, What, Where and When to contextualize the How. (Recommend Peter Block’s The Answer to How is Yes.)
The basic form of an evaluation process identifies; Foundational Values and Principles – Core Business or Project – Products (A product is any unique offering, service, project, partnership or item) – Revenue Architecture of each offering, service, or product – Systems of Support – Team.
Each of these headings are balanced in relationship to: Specific Project – Scope – Scale – Context – Competency – Capacity.
