One thing I found helpful is to know the process of trying to map in order to match the flow chart to it. It will be more effective.

2 What are the basic elements of flowcharts?

Flowcharts use standard symbols to represent different types of steps, actions, or decisions in a process. Rectangles are used for tasks or operations, diamonds for decisions or branching points, ovals for start or end points, arrows for direction or flow of control, parallelograms for inputs or outputs, and cylinders for databases or storage. Additionally, there are other symbols such as loops, subroutines, and delays that are used for specific purposes. It is important to include a legend or key to explain the meaning of each symbol in your flowchart.

3 How do you create a flowchart?

To create a flowchart, you must first define the purpose and scope of your process, and gather the necessary information and data. Then, you must identify the main steps and substeps of your process and arrange the symbols in a logical order, connecting them with arrows. Labels, notes, or comments should be added to clarify the details of each step. Lastly, review and test your flowchart for accuracy and completeness. You can use a paper and pencil, a whiteboard, or a software tool to create your flowchart; there are many online and offline tools that offer templates and features to help you create and edit your flowchart.

A great example on how to get started and learn the best ways to create flowcharts would be to search the LinkedIn Learning Modules, especially for the particular program you’re interested using, like Microsoft Visio. There are so many great resources and tutorials within the LinkedIn Learning library. Thank you!

In my experience as a training facilitator, I've discovered that utilizing flowcharts and templates prove highly effective in conveying a wide range of procedures to employees. These visual aids simplify the comprehension of the steps needed to complete tasks, making the training sessions far more engaging and comprehensible than relying on lengthy, uninspiring written notes. Notably, participants are more enthusiastic about contributing and actively trying out the procedures when these visual aids are incorporated into the training.

In my experience, it has been very helpful to watch a LinkedIn learning session by a reputable contributor (high ratings reviews or a session/contributor who is followed and trusted by a lot of people) on various Visio skills. Many have beginner, intermediate and advanced/expert level advice, based on your knowledge and how you will utilize the application. LinkedIn learning modules have something for everyone and they have been so helpful for me, especially since I’m working in a new department within my organization and we use programs I’ve not had a huge amount of exposure to previously! Thank you!
