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.

Bubble diagrams in Landscape Design with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM →

It’s not easy to plan all the details of your landscape at once. Therefore, you can use a bubble diagram to create a draft of the future project. You can develop any bubble diagrams and use them in your landscape design project with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and it’s predesigned templates. This bubble diagram can be applied while initiating the development of garden and landscape design. The bubble diagrams used for this purpose are different from the classic bubble diagrams. Being used in landscape and garden design, they obtain the quite another understanding. Bubbles in this diagram visualize some captured areas, which define the general spaces of a future garden: lawn, flower garden, pool, built-up area, lighting, etc. The bubble diagram represents the landscape project without any special expenses on its creation. It is better to make such simple sketch before you drill down into detailed project and cost estimates.

Flowchart Symbols: Meaning and Examples →

While creating flowcharts and process flow diagrams, you should use special objects to define different statements, so anyone aware of flowcharts can get your scheme right. There is a short and an extended list of basic flowchart symbols and their meaning. Basic flowchart symbols include terminator objects, rectangles for describing steps of a process, diamonds representing appearing conditions and questions and parallelograms to show incoming data. This diagram gives a general review of the standard symbols that are used when creating flowcharts and process flow diagrams. The practice of using a set of standard flowchart symbols was admitted in order to make flowcharts and other process flow diagrams created by any person properly understandable by other people. The flowchart symbols depict different kinds of actions and phases in a process. The sequence of the actions, and the relationships between them are shown by special lines and arrows. There are a large number of flowchart symbols. Which of them can be used in the particular diagram depends on its type. For instance, some symbols used in data flow diagrams usually are not used in the process flowcharts. Business process system use exactly these flowchart symbols.
