flow diagram

Visual workflow representation

A flow diagram is a visual representation of a process or system, using shapes connected by arrows to show the sequence of steps or decisions.

Rectangles typically represent actions, diamonds represent decision points, and arrows indicate direction of flow.

Flow diagrams help clarify complex procedures: The flow diagram showed where the approval process was getting stuck.

Also called a flowchart.
