Agile Methodology

Agile methodology is an excellent alternative to waterfall and traditional sequential development. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with SCRUM Workflow solution is ideal for quick and easy designing various diagrams, charts, mind maps and schematics illustrating software development using Agile methodologies, and in particular Scrum methodology.

Program to Make Flow Chart

Use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and business graphics software for drawing your own PM life cycle flow charts.

Scrum

What is Scrum? Scrum is the famous agile software development methodology which depicts an iterative and incremental approach for the work on the complex projects. Use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with SCRUM Workflow solution to draw various types of professional-looking Scrum Charts, Scrum Workflow Diagrams, Scrum Mind Maps, Scrum boards and attractive Scrum Infographics.

WBS Diagram

To simplify the managing of a complex project, it is advisable to divide it into the components in a hierarchical tree structure, called by Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). WBS diagram clearly divides all the works and tasks that must be done to achieve the objectives of the project, into the smaller operations and actions. Such division of the project accelerates the allocation of resources and establishes the areas of responsibility for each team member. WBS diagram is one of the main planning tools frequently used by project managers, it allows you to clearly define the entire scope of work on the project, to describe in details the content of these works and to arrange them in a form of hierarchical structure. The better you detailing the WBS, the more accurate will be all actions. The optimal size of elements is from the few days to several months. ConceptDraw Office suite applications and ConceptDraw Solution Park contain a lot of tools actively applied in project management, in their quantity is included the possibility of easy creation professional-looking Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) diagrams.

SSADM Diagram

The vector stencils library SSADM from the solution Systems engineering contains specific symbols of SSADM diagrams for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software. The Systems engineering solution is contained in Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. The example below illustrates the waterfall model used in SSADM. This model involves 5 stages of developing a product such as requirements specification and its' analysis, design, coding and testing.

Scrum process work items and workflow

Teams working with Scrum methodology use the product backlog items (PBIs), bug work item types (WITs), reports and dashboards. SCRUM Workflow solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software offers collection of samples, variety of predesigned objects, clipart and graphic elements, a set of Scrum process work items and workflow which are developed for agile teams working using Scrum.

How To Create a Workflow Diagram

A workflow diagram is less general notation than a process flow diagram. Workflow as a term can apply to organizational process which involves people, resources, documents, sort of data, for instance; whereas a process is general collection of steps occuring in any sort of activity. That is why process flow diagram can be used as workflow diagram to describe business process, data flow or department interactions. The fastest way to create a workflow diagram is using pre-designed workflow template. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with the Workflow Diagrams solution delivers rich set of workflow diagram templates you may start from.

Gane Sarson Diagram

The Gane-Sarson methodology uses the graphical techniques for building the logical models for the systems. It is helpful for analysts and designers to make common and clear picture of the system, to depict all its processes and how they transform the data. The Gane-Sarson methodology lets represent all this information in a way understandable for the users and other interested people, and gives the possibility to see instantly how the system's parts serve together to meet their needs. This methodology supposes the building of a system top-down. First you need create an overall system data flow, then determine the details of the data structures, the process logic and design the modular structures. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software offers the Data Flow Diagrams solution with Gane-Sarson Notation library rich for the specific symbols of the Gane-Sarson notation. All they are vector and fully ready-to-use for drawing the Data Flow Diagrams, which will be then successfully used in presentations, websites, and various business documents.

UML Diagram of Parking

This sample shows the Use Case Diagram of parking lot control system. On this sample you can see use cases represented as ovals and three actors represented as figures of persons that employ these use cases. Associations between actors and use cases are shown as lines. UML Diagram of Parking - This diagram can be used for understanding the process of working the car parking, at the projection and construction the parking by building companies and for automation the existing parkings.

Scrum workflow

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with unique SCRUM Workflow solution from the Project Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park allows fast and easy design professional-looking Scrum Workflow Diagrams and Scrum workflow scheme for projects required when working on projects and managing them, when developing software with cutting-edge Agile methodologies.

Org Chart Diagram

ConceptDraw Office products and PM solutions included to ConceptDraw Solution Park support many project methodologies, among them Agile and Simple Projects, which help in implementing the best practices in project management. ConceptDraw Office applications give effective support in solving the issues related with planning, tracking, events, milestones, resource usage, and many other project management functions. ConceptDraw MINDMAP software provides the great advantages of a Mind Map hierarchical tree structure during the process of development the organizational structure of an organization. When you need to make the Organizational Chart, you can use any ConceptDraw DIAGRAM or ConceptDraw MINDMAP software. If you already have a designed Mind Map, it is incredibly easy to generate an Organizational Chart directly from ConceptDraw MINDMAP. You need simply double-click the corresponding icon, all the rest will be made automatically. The Organizational Chart will be created from the active page of your map, outputted to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and opened in Slideshow mode.
