Wait, there's a model called the 'POPIT' model? I hope that's not anything like the 'POOP' model, or I'm going to be really disappointed in the business analysis field.

Harmon's organization model? Sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi novel! I'm going to have to do some research on that one.

Swimlane diagrams are great for visualizing processes, but they don't really provide the big-picture perspective that's needed to build a process map from the ground up.

I'm not sure about that - the POPIT model is more focused on the organization's internal systems and structures. Feels like it might not be the best fit here.

This seems straightforward - the Porter's value chain model is all about understanding the core business activities, so it aligns perfectly with the suggestion to start with the products and services.
