Tools and Software to Improve Your Workflow

The first step to improve your workflow is to draw it down. When the workflow is visualised you are able to analyse it, to find excess or missing steps or relations. Changing the workflow on paper you can pass as many iterations as needed to get the optimal process, and then start implementing changes to the real process. The best software helps you with workflow is ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with the Workflow Diagram solution. It contains all tools, features, samples and templates you may need during drawing workflow, analysis, and then presenting and implementing your results.

Using the pre-made templates and samples of the DFDs, and as the stencil libraries full of DFD-related design elements, any ConceptDraw DIAGRAM user might find the Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) solution a useful tool for making the needed DFD drawings.

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) <br>with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM *

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) is applied for detailed description of structures and high-level (conceptual) design databases using the Chen's and Crow's Foot notations. An ERD represents a diagram constructed mainly of rectangular blocks (for entities, data) linked with relationships. The links between the blocks are used to describe relations between the entities. There are three types of relationships: one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many. Use the specialized ERD software - ConceptDraw DIAGRAM to create the Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) of any degree of complexity with Chen's and Crow's Foot notations. Draw them easily applying the powerful built-in tools and libraries of predesigned ERD vector objects from Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. You can also start with one of ready template or sample included to this solution. Designing the ERDs in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM you can easy move the objects within a diagram with saving the relationships between them.
