Flowcharts are complex. Nobody runs them. Nobody looks at them. Stop using flowcharts to document processes. Here’s why.
Pretty picture. Total chaos.
Nice visual of a purchase order. Reality? Emails everywhere. Documents lost. 30 P.O’s running – nobody knows who’s doing what.Don’t look at it – run it
Launch it. Track every handover. See who’s doing what, right now. Collect data properly. Need help? Comment directly in tasks.Massive. Heavy. Painful.
Most processes? Simple checklists work better. Especially on phones. Why complicate life?Checklists + if/then power
Need branching? Got it. Powerful if/then rules on tasks. Everything flowcharts do – without the pain.Anyone creates processes
Everyone builds processes in minutes. No 10-week training. No “process language.” No giant visuals.Missing everything important
Just task names? How do you actually do it? What data? What forms? What deadlines?Everything you need, right there
Rich steps: text, videos, assignees, deadlines, forms, rules. Not random boxes with lines.Can’t handle real decisions
8 choices? 8 lines to 8 boxes. 25 choices? Nightmare. See the problem?Infinite variations. No problem.
Comments and blocking handle unlimited decisions. Real-life scenarios nobody imagined? Covered.Stop bleeding 2 hours per person, daily - on busywork
