ISO/TR 26122:2008从记录的创建、捕获和控制的角度为工作过程分析提供了指导。 它确定了两种类型的分析，即 功能分析（将功能分解为过程），以及 顺序分析（交易流程的调查）。 每项分析都需要对适合分析的背景（即任务和监管环境）进行初步审查。根据任务的性质、项目的规模和分析的目的，分析的组成部分可以以各种组合和不同于这里描述的顺序进行。还包括以分析每个要素下要考虑的问题/事项清单的形式提供的指导。 ISO/TR 26122:2008描述了ISO 15489中概述的理论的实际应用。因此，它独立于技术（即无论技术环境如何都可以应用），尽管它可以用于评估支持组织工作流程的技术工具的充分性。 ISO/TR 26122:2008侧重于现有的工作流程，而不是促进“工作流程”（即业务流程的全部或部分自动化，在此期间，根据一套程序规则，文档、信息或任务从一个参与者传递给另一个参与者以采取行动）。

ISO/TR 26122:2008 provides guidance on work process analysis from the perspective of the creation, capture and control of records. It identifies two types of analyses, namely

1. functional analysis (decomposition of functions into processes), and
2. sequential analysis (investigation of the flow of transactions).

Each analysis entails a preliminary review of context (i.e. mandate and regulatory environment) appropriate for the analysis. The components of the analysis can be undertaken in various combinations and in a different order from that described here, depending on the nature of the task, the scale of the project, and the purpose of the analysis. Guidance provided in the form of lists of questions/matters to be considered under each element of the analysis is also included. ISO/TR 26122:2008 describes a practical application of the theory outlined in ISO 15489. As such, it is independent of technology (i.e. can be applied regardless of the technological environment), although it can be used to assess the adequacy of technical tools that support an organization's work processes. ISO/TR 26122:2008 focuses on existing work processes rather than on facilitating "workflow" (i.e. the automation of a business process in whole or part, during which documents, information or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules).
