Hi Miro community,

We’re working on documenting a large number of processes across many different departments in our organization. Each department has multiple high-level processes, and each of those processes has several sub-processes.

Example - 8 Departments, Each departments have 10 to 15 high level process, Each High level process has 15 to 20 subprocesses, may be sub processes itself has Sub-sub process.
1. Finance Department - Payment Process - Inside payment, Reimbursement process is one of the sub process - Inside Reimbursement process, I have Employee permanent is separate process, Employee in contract has separate process.

What is the best way to structure and organize this kind of large-scale process documentation in Miro? How industries handling this kind of scenario?

Would love to hear how others have approached this and if there are any best practices or recommendations from Miro?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@Team Everest, great question! For larger process maps, many teams use frames to break things down by department and process, and then link out to separate boards or frames for deeper levels of detail. Color-coding, tags, and consistent templates also help keep things clear and scalable.

That’s one approach, but curious to hear how others in the community are structuring complex process documentation in Miro — what’s worked best for you?


Thanks for your insights ​@Eca 

Let me understand you solution, in a simple way, You are telling me to use frames in one board & Color-coding, tags, and consistent templates.

To document the whole ORG process, which has 8 Departments, Each departments have 10 to 15 high level process, Each High level process has 15 to 20 subprocesses, may it break into deep it may come 2000 to 3000 processes.

This what you are trying say?


Hi ​@Team Everest, thanks for clarifying! For something this large-scale, one practical approach is to create mind maps for each department and place them in separate boards for clarity. If you prefer everything in one place, you can section a single board by department and add one mind map per section.

You can also use frames with tags to make navigation and searching easier across processes.

If you’d like more tailored guidance for an org-wide setup, I’d suggest reaching out to Miro Support.

Curious to hear how others in the community are approaching similar cases!
