What's flowchart?

[cathy]

See a precise define about flowchart.

A flowchart is a graphical representation of a process, depicting inputs, outputs and units of activity. It represents the entire process at a high or detailed (depending on your use) level of observation, allowing analysis and optimization of workflow.

A flowchart is a graphical representation of a process. It represents the entire process from start to finish, showing inputs, pathways and circuits, action or decision points, and ultimately, completion. It can serve as an instruction manual or a tool for facilitating detailed analysis and optimization of workflow and service delivery.

I have found some other good flowchart tools:

A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a process. Another name for this tool is “flow diagram.”

If flowcharts are the only thing you plan to use it for, visio might be a bit of an overkill. If you want to be using it for other things too though it would be better value for money.
Visio is too expensive for my taste, and I have found a good flowchart tool.

I just wanted to write to say EDraw is great value for its money!

It is very easy to use!
