Flow Chart
What is a Flow Сhart
A Flow Chart is a type of diagram which visualizes a process, algorithm of a program or workflow. The steps / operations are represented as boxes of various types and are connected by arrows which show the flow of the process.
The Flow Chart is a very popular type of diagram, it is widely used for analyzing, designing, managing and visualizing the business and technical processes, various software algorithms.
But how to design a Flow Chart fast and easy? We recommend to use a powerful ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with Flowcharts Solution.
Example 1. Flow Chart — Food Security Assessment
Create a Flow Chart
The Flowcharts Solution offers 2 libraries with all commonly used shapes for drawing any Flow Chart you need. Below you can see them all, click on the preview to enlarge it.
All these objects are vector objects, you can resize them without loss of quality, change their color to make your flow chart diagram more interesting, bright and attractive.
To design your own Flow Chart in minutes, follow the next steps:
- drag the required shapes from the libraries,
- type the text inside the shapes,
- arrange the shapes and connect them with arrows.

You can also use the ready sample flow chart or template offered by Flowcharts solution in ConceptDraw STORE as the base or as the source of inspiration for your own Flow Chart.
Benefits of Flow Chart
The Flow Chart has a wide set of benefits:
- gives a clear documentation of a process;
- allows to define and offers common understanding of processes;
- helps to build a process visual representation for analysis, discussion, and communication;
- allows to identify the scope of the process;
- allows to trace and analyze the process steps;
- helps to standardize and find areas for monitoring, improvement and increased efficiency in a process;
- allows to find and detach the steps of the process that are not essential;
- helps in understanding the logic of complex problems;
- offers a guidance for managers overseeing operations;
- facilitates communication between programmers and business people;
- helps programmers to write the programs of any complexity and on the any high level language;
- helps in debugging process and provides efficient program maintenance;
- helps to understand and explain to other people the logic of the complex problems and their solution;
- assists to improve teamwork effectiveness.
