The drawing

What a process flow diagram is.

A process flow diagram shows the sequence of actions and decisions that turn a starting event into an outcome. Arrows connect the work, while decision points show when the path changes or repeats.

It gives a team a shared view of the current or planned procedure. Keep each box to one clear action and label exception paths so readers can follow the process without extra explanation.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a process flow diagram?

It is a visual sequence of actions, decisions and outcomes in a process. It makes handoffs, exceptions and repeat work easier to see.

What should a process flow diagram include?

Include a clear start and end, the main actions, decision points, exception paths and the people or systems responsible for important handoffs.

How do I create a process flow diagram?

Write the process in order, identify every place where the path can change, and describe it in plain language. Then refine steps or branches in the diagram.

When should I use a process flow diagram?

Use one to document a recurring procedure, train a new team member, plan a change or find a bottleneck and unclear ownership in an existing workflow.
