Typical Uses of Flowcharts

Whenever it is necessary to visualize, share, or modify information, whether about a process or not, a flowchart is a highly efficient tool. Flowcharts are also very effective for visualizing deficiencies in a process, and making decisions.

Best Practices:

• Start your chart: Define the start point the process or system to be visualized.

• Add a line: Draw a short downward line from the bottom of the start point (oval).

• Add a process: Draw a rectangle and write a brief description of the first process at the end of the line.

• Add a line: Draw another downward line from the bottom of the process (rectangle).

• Indicate input and output: If the process generates an output, or needs an input to move on to the next process, add a parallelogram. Label the parallelogram with the output or input.

• Continue the process: continue to add rectangles and parallelograms until everything necessary has been documented.

• Verify accuracy: Consult with all stakeholders to verify accuracy
