The drawing

What a flowchart is.

A flowchart is a diagram of a process. It uses arrows to show sequence, process shapes for actions, decision diamonds for choices, and terminal shapes for a start or end.

It helps people see the complete logic of a task, including exceptions and loops. A clear flowchart answers what happens next, who decides, and where each branch leads.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a flowchart?

A flowchart is a visual representation of a process, using connected shapes to show actions, decisions, directions, and outcomes.

What are the common flowchart symbols?

A rounded shape usually marks a start or end, a rectangle marks an action, a diamond marks a decision, and arrows show the direction of the process.

How do I start a flowchart?

Start with the trigger, then list each action and decision in order. For every decision, identify the result of each branch and where it leads.

When should I use a flowchart?

Use one to document a repeatable process, explain a decision path, find gaps in a workflow, train a team, or prepare a process for automation.
