Process Flowchart Builder

A flowchart is a map of activities and decisions connected by arrows. It describes the order work follows, including loops and alternative routes.

Read freely. Creating a worksheet requires a verified free beta account. No payment or manual beta approval.

When this tool helps

Use it to understand a workflow, plan a changed route, or explain who does what at a decision.

Making the route visible helps teams find missing handoffs, rework and disagreements about what actually happens.

When to choose another method

Use SIPOC for a high-level boundary discussion and Value Stream Mapping when inventories, demand and end-to-end time are central. A flowchart alone does not prove why a delay occurs.

How to use it in CI Tools

Read the guide and agree the question, definitions and required starting information.
Open a separate blank worksheet or the built-in synthetic practice sample. Follow the tool-specific steps and review its warnings.
Check the interpretation and save an editable .citools file to your computer. Keep reports as separate exports.
