MODULE #2 - Introduction To Flowchart

A flowchart is a graphical representation of steps in a process or algorithm. It shows the steps sequentially connected by arrows. Flowcharts are used to plan projects, document processes, model business workflows, audit processes, and map computer algorithms. The creator of flowcharts was Frank and Lillian Gilbreth in 1921. Flowcharts use standard symbols like terminators, processes, decisions, inputs/outputs, and arrows to visually depict the flow and relationships between different parts of a process.
