I typically whiteboard or write on large paper the process and then all the things that go into that process. What are the things that affect that process. Indicate time constraints and hard limits (e.g., must be done within 2 hours). For every estimate, include a low, medium, and high range. Avoid focusing on extremes (cases that happen once a year). Focus on what happens most of the time. Once you have everything documented, then go put it into software like Visio. I personally like to get tools out of the way.
