An interactive visual document covering the complete APQC Process Classification Framework — all 13 categories, 80+ process groups, 46 integration flows, 200+ KPIs, AI automation map, maturity model, and Figma diagram patterns.
→ Live Map | Framework Version: PCF 7.3 (Cross-Industry)
The APQC Process Classification Framework (PCF) is the world's most widely adopted process taxonomy — used by thousands of organizations for benchmarking, transformation, and process architecture. This repo encodes the full framework into:
- An interactive visual master map — navigate all 13 categories, explore integration flows, filter by type, zoom/pan the full canvas
- A Claude skill package — install into Claude to get PCF intelligence in every relevant conversation
- Reference documentation — full L1–L5 taxonomy, KPI library, AI automation map, maturity model, and Figma patterns
The index.html map is a single-file, dependency-free HTML document:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Zoom + Pan | Scroll to zoom, drag to pan the full canvas |
| 46 Integration Flows | Color-coded by type with animated direction indicators on selection |
| 9 Flow Types | Strategic, Product/Innovation, Revenue, Operational, Talent, Technology, Financial, Risk, Feedback |
| Overlay Modes | Default · Maturity (1–5) · AI Priority (1–10) |
| Search | Live search across all process codes, names, and groups |
| Flow Filter | Show only the flow types you care about |
| Detail Panel (4 tabs) | Overview · Process Groups · Integrations · KPIs |
| Keyboard Nav | ↑↓ cycle nodes · ESC reset |
| Minimap | Fixed corner minimap with viewport indicator |
| Live Stats Bar | Updates with incoming/outgoing flows, maturity, AI score on selection |

The skill/ directory is packaged as a .skill file for installation into Claude.
To install:
- Download
apqc-pcf.skillfrom Releases - Go to Claude → Settings → Claude's skills → Install skill
- Drop the
.skillfile
What it does once installed:
The skill automatically triggers when you ask Claude anything involving process architecture, organizational design, business transformation, SOPs, process mapping, ERP selection, BPM, benchmarking, or any request to design how an organization should run.
Outputs are routed to Figma by default for client-facing deliverables using 7 built-in diagram patterns:
| Pattern | Figma Type | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Flowchart LR | L3 process flows, SOPs |
| 2 | Flowchart + subgraphs | Value stream maps |
| 3 | Sequence diagram | Integration flows, order-to-cash |
| 4 | State diagram | Product/order/employee lifecycles |
| 5 | Gantt | Transformation roadmaps |
| 6 | Swimlane flowchart | RACI, multi-role processes |
| 7 | Graph TD | PCF taxonomy drill-downs |
The map is a single self-contained HTML file with no dependencies, no build step, and no server required.
