What is a process flow?
A process flow is a visual representation of the steps and actions within a specific workflow or business process. Often created as process flow charts or diagrams, they use symbols, shapes, and arrows to illustrate the logical flow of tasks and the relationships between them. A process flow chart is an effective tool for teams, project managers, and stakeholders to document and communicate a process and ensure everyone involved understands their roles and responsibilities.
Why use process flows?
Process flows present an overview of various interrelated tasks and activities within a process. It maps out these activities in a structured and easy-to-understand format, making it easy to spot bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
Craft a process flow for any project—whether drafting a marketing campaign, improving logistics operations, or documenting employee onboarding plans. With a well-designed business process flow, you can gain clarity and enhance collaboration across teams, ensuring things are on track to hit your goals.
