Business Process Workflow Diagrams

Any workflow is known to be consisting of some repeatable and orchestrated pattern. This pattern is the one of a business activity that is enabled by the systematic organization of resources into some definite processes. The last-mentioned processes can transform the materials, provide different services or some particular process information.

A workflow is also depicted as a sequence of different operations. These operations are often declared as work of a group or a person, an organization of staff, or some more, either complex or simple, mechanisms.

The workflows are also considered as a view or some representation of a real work. The flow that is described in a way of an illustration, may refer to some particular document, product or service. Any of such documents, products or services may be transferred from one step to another.

Sometimes the workflows are viewed as one fundamental building block. This block is often combined with other parts of an organization's structure. To represent the workflows, the flowcharts are created. They are known as a type of diagram that represents some particular algorithm, process, or workflow.

The steps are shown in a way of the boxes of different kinds that are all connected by the arrows. This diagrammatic representation is used as a convenient tool for illustrating some particular solution models to the given problems. Being used in designing, analyzing, managing the processes, the programs or/and documenting in different fields of business activity, flowcharts are easily created in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software within only a few minutes.

The Business Process Workflow Diagrams solution was developed for a purpose of extending the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software with the pre-made examples and templates of the workflow diagrams, and a library full of vector stencils, workflow chart elements, icons, arrows, connectors for making the needed drawings at an ease.

Representing the documents, transferring data and tasks during the performance of the work process has become much simpler for many specialists. The list includes university professors, PhDs, postgraduates, postdocs, scientists, researchers, IT specialists, computer engineers, network and telecommunication engineers, software engineers, technical writers, system administrators, technical support specialists, IT managers, system architects and many other professions.
