Assurance Process Map Graphical Guidelines

---

• Use solid lines without arrowheads to indicate direct reporting (performance appraisal test) relationships.
• Use dashed lines without arrowheads to indicate organizationally-matrixed reporting relationships
• Use dotted lines with small arrowheads to represent information flow (Information flow from assurance players to the assurance forums creating KUV).
• Use block arrows to represent assurance vectors.
• Establish a color scheme (both line color and shading) to represent the different players on the map.
• Show reporting and information flow lines using the same color of the source of information.
• Use muted, pastel hues for shading whenever possible to reduce "graphical glare." Consider using 5% gray or 5% color shading area fills.
• Use solid, single lined boxes for organizational entities.
• Use solid, double-lined boxes for operational elements (e.g., orbiter, external tank, solid rocket booster, etc.)
• Consider selectively using box outlines to show emphasis.
• Where possible, use numbers to link boxes or activities on the map and show relationships, thereby eliminating lines and reducing clutter. For example, the box for an assurance agent managed by 2.3 Review and Assessment Division box would be indexed 2.3.1.
• When possible, link number schemes on the map to the AP Matrix.
