Make → Things → Happen
Flowcharts make → things → happen.
Flowcharts are diagrams that show a process or workflow broken out into steps.
They have a few standard components:
Terminals / oval shape / shows the start or end of a process
Flowlines / arrow shape / shows the order of process operations
Decisions / rhombus shape / shows a conditional operation that will determine a path; for example, a yes/no question, or true/false test
Processes / rectangle shape / shows operations that change the value, form or location of data
Why do we need flowcharts?
Whether baking a pie or writing a computer algorithm, flowcharts are useful because they make processes more accessible, to more people, in a more standardized way.
And that gives the actual processes they represent symbolically a better chance of working.
