Put each node where the process actually puts it, connect them in any direction, and let work loop back or skip ahead. The same data can sit on your map, your team's and the portfolio's at once, at a different node on each. Change it once; every map sees it.
Flows in any direction
Nodes go wherever the process does. Connectors curve around them, loop back, or skip ahead.
One piece of data, many maps
The same data runs on several maps at once, at a different node on each. Never a copy.
Live on every device
Move data on one screen and it moves on every other, with no refresh. Phone and web alike.

A starting point, not a fixed set: every node and connector can be moved, renamed or removed. Blocked and Suspended sit off to the side — data steps out to them and comes back to exactly where it left.
