A flow chart is a graphical method of presenting a process. Each step of the process is represented by a different symbol and it contains the steps/decision to
take during that step. The steps are linked together with arrows to show how a particular process works in an organization. Flowcharts can also be known as
process models, process charts, decision process diagrams and much more. The common factor is that any process/decision is broken down into steps, and users would
know the information required etc to make a decision.

Main Benefits of Using Flowcharts
