What is a workflow diagram

A workflow diagram provides a graphic overview of the business process. Using standardized symbols and shapes, the workflow shows step by step how your work is completed from start to finish. It also shows who is responsible for work at what point in the process. Designing a workflow involves first conducting a thorough workflow analysis, which can expose potential weaknesses. A workflow analysis can help you define, standardize and identify critical areas of your process.
