Layout Pattern

Swimlane Process

Process flow broken into horizontal lanes per actor or team. Shows who does what, in what order.

ProcessHandoffsOwnership

How to Use It

Regular process flows hide ownership; swimlanes make it obvious. Horizontal rows represent actors (teams, roles, systems), columns represent phases, and steps sit in the intersection. Draw arrows between steps, including cross-lane arrows for handoffs - those are often where the process breaks. Ideal for cross-functional workflows, service blueprints, and incident response diagrams.
