Is Process Dependent On Tool?

Another misconception that I have often come across is that there are certain group of individuals who believe that process is dependent on tools.

Lets assume that this belief is correct, and take an example of process of going to office from our home. The tool that is being used for this process is a car. Thus, if this belief is correct, it would mean that the process (going to office) is dependent on the tool (car). This would signify that a person cannot take any other mode of transport to go to his office, which is not the case. Hence our assumption is wrong.

We should remember that Tool is dependent on the process and not vice-a-versa. Tool is just an enabler of a process. Multiple tools can be available in the market which can help in process implementation or its automation. It depends on the organizational requirements or preferences that decides the tool that has to be used.
