How to Build a Flowchart
The vector stencils library "Marketing diagram" contains 20 solid and transparent geometric shapes: rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, cloud, circle, diamond, hexagon, starburst, flag.
Use it to illustrate your marketing infograms with block diagrams.
"The term diagram in its commonly used sense can have a general or specific meaning:
(1) visual information device: Like the term "illustration" the diagram is used as a collective term standing for the whole class of technical genres, including graphs, technical drawings and tables.
(2) specific kind of visual display: This is the genre that shows qualitative data with shapes that are connected by lines, arrows, or other visual links. ...
In the specific sense diagrams and charts contrast with computer graphics, technical illustrations, infographics, maps, and technical drawings, by showing "abstract rather than literal representations of information". The essence of a diagram can be seen as:
(1) a form of visual formatting devices;
(2) a display that does not show quantitative data (numerical data), but rather relationships and abstract information;
(3) with building blocks such as geometrical shapes connected by lines, arrows, or other visual links." [Diagram. Wikipedia]
The shapes example "Design elements - Marketing diagram" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Marketing Infographics solition from the area "Business Infographics" in ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) with ConceptDraw PRO

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (abbr. SSADM) is a method developed in Great Britain and accepted in 1993 as a national standard for information systems development and analysis. SSADM is based on Data Flow Diagrams and is characterized with presence of clear sequence of steps at projecting, analysis, and documenting of information system. It involves 6 main stages: analysis of existing system or estimation of practicability, requirements definition, determination of technical requirements and equipment cost, development of logical data model, projecting of logical requirements and specification them, physical projecting. Each of them is also divided into several steps defining the tasks that should be fulfilled at a given stage. The most important SSADM elements are flows modeling with help of DFD, data logic modeling with help of LDS (Logical Data Structure) and description of entities behavior. Applying of SSADM is easy with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software and Data Flow Diagram solution.
