About the Flowchart template
A Flowchart is a diagram that maps a process as a sequence of steps, decisions, and outcomes using standardized symbols connected by directional arrows. It makes workflows visible so teams can spot bottlenecks, clarify hand-offs, and agree on how work actually flows before committing resources. In planning and scheduling, it turns an ambiguous procedure into a shared, auditable reference.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.
When to use a Flowchart
- βΈDocumenting an approval or onboarding process before automating or handing it off
- βΈMapping the current ('as-is') workflow to expose delays and rework
- βΈDefining decision logic where outcomes branch based on conditions
- βΈTraining new team members on a repeatable procedure
What a good Flowchart includes
- βClear start and end terminators marking the process boundaries
- βProcess steps (rectangles) with concise action-verb labels
- βDecision points (diamonds) with labeled yes/no or condition branches
- βDirectional arrows showing flow order and loops
- βSwimlanes or roles indicating who owns each step
- βA title, version, and date for revision control

Tips & common mistakes
- π‘Keep one decision per diamond and label every exit path so no branch is left ambiguous
- π‘Avoid crossing lines and orphan boxes; if the chart gets crowded, split it into linked sub-processes
- π‘Validate the flow with the people who actually do the work, not just the process owner
How it works
- 1. Fill it in β type directly into the fields, tables and sections above.
- 2. Brand it β add your organization name and logo with the Branding button.
- 3. Export β print to PDF, or become a member to white-label and sync across devices.
FAQ
What do the different flowchart shapes mean?οΌ
Rectangles represent process steps or actions, diamonds represent decisions with branching outcomes, ovals or rounded shapes mark the start and end, and parallelograms typically denote inputs or outputs.
What is the difference between a flowchart and a swimlane diagram?οΌ
A standard flowchart shows the sequence of steps, while a swimlane diagram adds horizontal or vertical lanes to assign each step to a specific role, team, or system, making ownership and hand-offs explicit.
How detailed should a flowchart be?οΌ
Include enough detail to make the process unambiguous for its audience, but split anything beyond roughly 15-20 steps into linked sub-process charts to keep it readable.
